Guidance – Tasking in Clinical Systems

LMC Guidance on Tasking in Clinical Systems

This guidance outlines the LMC’s position on ‘Tasks’, which is that they should not be used as a method of communicating between providers and GP practices.

This includes but is not limited to:

  • Requests to arrange referrals to other services/providers
  • Requesting prescriptions
  • Delegating other clinical work
  • Updating other services with changes in the patient’s condition

It includes advice for practices who do not wish to receive Tasks as communication route from other providers.
