Standardised Practice Information Portal (Spip)
GP locums and practices can all be part of creating and sharing consulting room level information
Where LocumDeck helps get GP locums into practice, Spip welcomes and inducts them into practice’s information ecosystem.
Spip is a secure, online platform where practices can centrally store, update and then display all of their highly localised, practice-specific information to their staff and GPs at the point of need, equipping them to manage patients safely and efficiently.
Spip includes LocumPack, pulling together Spip’s 30 most-asked questions by GP locums so that each practice has its own essential locum induction information.
