Cross-organisational slots are appointments at locations outside of the surgery in which you work (e.g. at another Penrose surgery or another surgery in your PCN). These appointments are booked on EMIS, but follow a different process than booking regular slots.
When you might use them
For more information regarding each type of cross-organisational booking, go to the relevant page:
- Physiotherapy first point of contact → Physio First
- For ongoing MSK concerns (bookable by clinicians only) → Internal MSK Service
- PCN/GPEA appointments → GP Enhanced Access (GPEA)
How to book a cross organisational slot on EMIS
- Go to ‘Appointment Book’ → ‘Find Slot’ → ‘Find cross-organisational slot’
- In ‘Appointment Criteria’, choose:
- Select an ‘Organisation’ (based on the location/provider of the service required)
- Select a ‘Slot type’ for the type of appointment required (e.g., Nurse, F2F, immunisation, etc.)
- Select a slot and click ‘Book appointment’
