Our colleagues at NSS and ATOS have let us know that the PCR has now been upgraded to the latest version (16.0)

Details of what's new and the updated full user guide can both be found here.

Importantly, this latest version included a new report which will support pharmacy teams in completing mandatory Stage 1 medication reviews for their patients, which are now completed on registration and at annual intervals. From recent reports, there are a significant number of MCR-registered patients who are yet to have a Stage 1 review completed - remember, these registrations won't count towards your totals for remuneration until these reviews have been done!
