In March 2014, Richard Jefferson, the Head of Business Systems, announced the update of GP IT components under the new GPSoC framework, effective from 1st April 2014. This update includes the revised GP IT operating model, titled "Securing Excellence in GP IT 2014-16," with a focus on driving innovation and excellence. The GPSoC framework aims to upgrade systems to the latest standards, improve competition and strategic uptake, and promote open interfaces. The operating model aligns with the vision to deliver equitable funding, drive innovation through benchmarking, and enhance digital maturity in primary care. The funding allocation, both revenue and capital, is designed to support the transition to more efficient and cost-effective GP IT services. This update signifies a strategic shift towards a more integrated and responsive healthcare IT infrastructure.
