All Practices signed up to the DES should use an electronic template that is updated regularly. As a team we recommend you use the National Template but the Arden’s template is an acceptable alternative. Practices using previous Derbyshire 2018 or a practice own template should switch to either the National Template or Arden’s. This applies to Emis and TPP.
EMIS
