Medicus Integration

As trusted partners to NHS GP practices, digital health vendors, and startups, 6B delivers full-lifecycle integration with Medicus, via direct integration, IM1, and GP Connect – from design and development to deployment and ongoing support. Whether you’re building appointment schedulers, decision-support tools, or population health modules, our integrations are robust, scalable, and aligned with NHS standards.

With a deep understanding of both primary care operations and NHS interoperability frameworks, our team ensures seamless connectivity between Medicus and the wider health tech ecosystem.

Understanding Medicus

Medicus is the first new GP clinical system in over two decades, designed specifically to meet the evolving needs of general practice in England. Built on a modern, cloud-first platform, Medicus supports core GP workflows including appointment booking, clinical triage, prescribing, referrals, document management, and long-term condition management through care registers.

Designed with weekly update cycles and a strong clinical safety governance model, Medicus is a future-ready solution that integrates natively with national NHS infrastructure. It supports 24 key NHS services, including the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS), NHS e-Referral Service, NHS App, and Summary Care Record, and operates under the NHS Tech Innovation Framework using open FHIR-based APIs.

The platform also supports multi-device access and is adaptable to a variety of care settings- from individual practices and PCNs to care homes, vaccination centres, and remote clinical teams. With a focus on usability, performance, and security, Medicus represents a major step forward in GP digital transformation.

Our Medicus Integration Process

At 6B, we follow a structured, collaborative approach to integrating your solution with Medicus. We begin with a discovery and planning phase, where we work closely with your team to understand your use case – whether you’re building a clinical support tool, automating administrative workflows, or enabling patient self-service capabilities. During this phase, we identify relevant NHS England and/or FHIR endpoints, workflow triggers, and integration paths supported by Medicus’ API ecosystem.

Next, we design an integration architecture tailored to your technical and clinical requirements. Our solutions use modern web technologies including HL7 FHIR (R4), secure authentication protocols like OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect, and cloud-native models that align with Medicus’ own infrastructure. We define key integration parameters such as data mapping, user context, access control, and event handling, ensuring compliance with NHS and vendor-specific standards.

Development is carried out using our library of reusable integration components, including FHIR resource handlers, authentication flows, and API connectors. This accelerates project delivery while maintaining consistency and quality. We conduct thorough testing in sandbox environments, validating performance, data integrity, and security prior to deployment.

Once the solution is ready for go-live, we support production rollout and provide end-to-end monitoring, user support, and ongoing maintenance. We also offer long-term support to ensure your integration remains compatible with evolving Medicus APIs and NHS requirements, including updates to clinical safety, data governance, and interoperability frameworks.

Benefits of Medicus Integration

Integrating your application with Medicus delivers tangible benefits for clinicians, patients, and healthcare providers. Clinicians gain real-time access to the data and workflows they need directly within the Medicus platform, enabling them to make faster, better-informed decisions while reducing reliance on paper or disconnected systems. The ability to trigger workflows – such as appointments, triage outcomes, or document updates – from within or alongside Medicus improves clinical efficiency and reduces duplication.

Patients benefit from more connected, coordinated care. Whether accessing services through the NHS App or engaging with integrated third-party tools, they experience smoother communication, faster service delivery, and greater control over their health. Medicus’ support for consistent, standards-based data sharing enables better continuity of care across care settings.

For organisations, integration with Medicus helps reduce administrative burden, improve data quality, and align with NHS priorities for digital transformation and open standards adoption. Practices and PCNs can more easily deploy innovative tools that improve population health management, remote care delivery, and access to services – all while ensuring clinical safety and regulatory compliance.

For digital health vendors, Medicus integration increases the value and adoption of your product by embedding it directly into daily workflows. Integration speeds up procurement and deployment within NHS environments and supports your long-term scalability through a standards-aligned, cloud-first architecture.
