The major providers of general practice systems are EMIS, TPP, Vision and Microtest. The following table shows the registered patients for practices with each system with access to online medical records, and the number of views in June 2020 (which can include multiple views by the same patient). A monthly report is published by NHS Digital which shows usage at practice and clinical commissioning group level, and includes online appointments and prescriptions.
