GPSoC overview
The GPSoC Framework suppliers deliver functionality in line with a common set of standards and performance measures that all suppliers must adhere to.
Under GPSoC, NHS CFH will provide central funding for the annual software licence charges and upgrades for existing GP clinical IT systems. PCTs will need to continue to fund a much reduced portion of the annual charges and they will continue to fund locally selected additional services in full. This will release funding for PCTs to locally fund training and implementation of services.
GPSoC introduced a set of new contractual agreements which replace the many different contracts that exist for the provision of GP clinical IT systems.
PCTs and practices that have taken advantage of the GPSoC central funding have entered into these new agreements and terminated their existing contracts with their GP clinical IT system suppliers.
