Whether you’re building a patient-facing app, a clinical tool, or a population health platform, 6B helps you integrate reliably with primary care EHRs such as EMIS Web, SystmOne, Cegedim Vision, and Medicus. Our end-to-end services cover discovery, design, development, compliance, and long-term support – ensuring your product is ready for real-world NHS use.
With deep experience in FHIR, GP Connect, and NHS API frameworks, we simplify integration while ensuring compliance with national digital standards and local governance requirements.
Understanding Primary Care EHR Integration
Primary care is the foundation of the UK health system, and its EHR platforms hold vital longitudinal patient data used in clinical decision-making, prescribing, referrals, and care coordination. Integrating with these systems unlocks significant value – enabling real-time access to GP records, appointment booking, structured messaging, and more.
However, integration with GP systems presents unique challenges: restricted access, strict information governance, legacy interfaces, and variability in local configurations.
6B helps digital health innovators and NHS partners navigate this landscape by building robust, standards-compliant integrations with the most widely used primary care platforms in the UK:
- EMIS Web – the market leader for GP practices, with broad support for GP Connect and partner APIs
- SystmOne – a widely used clinical system supporting integrated care across primary, community, and mental health
- Cegedim Vision – a flexible GP system with capabilities for integration via Vision+ and Cegedim APIs
- Medicus – a next-generation cloud-based EHR designed for modern general practice
We support both national-scale integrations (e.g. NHS England API access e.g. IM1, GP Connect, etc) and local deployments within ICS and PCN environments.
Our Primary Care Integration Process
We begin with a structured discovery process to understand your product’s clinical and technical needs, user workflows, and target integration points. We then map these to available interoperability options – including GP Connect, NHS Digital APIs, FHIR, structured messaging, or vendor-specific interfaces.
Our solution design takes into account:
- Authentication (e.g. NHS Smartcard, OAuth 2.0, CIS2)
- Data access controls and role-based permissions
- Consent models and auditability
- Secure hosting (e.g. HSCN, NHS Cloud, or internet-facing with WAF and IP restrictions)
We develop using reusable integration assets – including tested FHIR handlers, proxy connectors, and secure messaging modules – to reduce delivery time and complexity. Integrations are thoroughly tested in staging environments before go-live, and we provide monitoring and long-term support post-deployment.
All work is carried out in alignment with NHS DSPT, DTAC, and DCB standards.

Readiness checklist for Primary Care EHR Integration
- Define your integration goals for primary care EHRs (e.g. patient record access, appointment booking, prescribing workflows)
- Identify which systems you need to integrate with (EMIS Web, SystmOne, Vision, Medicus)
- Document available access routes (e.g. GP Connect, IM1 APIs, vendor-specific APIs)
- Prepare authentication and authorisation requirements (Smartcard, OAuth 2.0, CIS2)
- Outline data governance, consent handling, and audit requirements
- Confirm hosting and connectivity models (HSCN, NHS Cloud, or internet-facing with security controls)
- Identify stakeholders, vendor contacts, and governance leads for integration approvals
