COVID vaccination reminder project – Supporting better vaccination rates
Join the free COVID vaccination reminder project today and help increase vaccination rates for patients aged 75 years and over while meeting your PIP Quality Improvement (QI) Incentive requirements.
If your practice uses Best Practice or MedicalDirector and administers COVID-19 vaccines, you can participate in this free project.
Find out more on the Quality Improvement webpage or submit an Expression of Interest (EOI).
How successful has the project been?
23 general practices across the region participated in the free COVID vaccination reminder project between 1 July 2024 and 30 June 2025. Through this initiative, practices were supported to identify patients aged 75 years and over who were eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine.
During this period, participating practices sent 7,638 SMS invitations to eligible patients, resulting in 890 vaccinations being administered — an average of 46.8 patients per practice.

Provide your feedback on the management of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
The ADHD Collaborative is seeking feedback to better understand and support the training needs of general practitioners (GPs) in their ongoing management of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children and adults.

The information you submit though this survey will be used to inform the development of resources to support GPs.
Please note, personal details will not be collected and your responses will remain confidential. For more information on the survey or the ADHD Collaborative, please contact [email protected]
