What Is Advice and Guidance (Eclipse Live)?

Advice and Guidance (Eclipse Live) is a centrally assured and funded NHS Digital service that has three functions:

  1. The provision of a centralised database to enable NHS organisations to evaluate their compliance with best practice guidelines.

  2. RADAR, a centralised set of best practice prescribing criteria enabling Practices to gain insight, education and prompts to review patients at potential risk from overdue monitoring needs.

  3. Diabetes Complete, a centralised tracking interface identifying compliance with National Guidelines for Diabetes Best Practice.

To date over 2000 GP Practices are utilising this system. Evaluated Practices are found to have a reduction of 5% in their emergency admission rates following the introduction of this system. (www.eclipsesolutions.org/impactassessment)

How Does Advice and Guidance Work?

Secure data extracts are taken from your principal clinical system either daily or weekly (GP Practice preference).

The centrally assured alerts are run each Sunday, any patients in need of a GP review are listed within the system each Monday. Patients can be dealt with in house or referred on to your Advice and Guidance team.

This system is a supplementary service ensuring that practices use a standardised approach in applying National Best Practice guidance on patient monitoring. Using the system will:

  • Reduce the overall workload through better utilisation of practice resources.

  • Identify those patients with reversible risk, reducing complications, exacerbations and admissions.

  • Effortlessly enhance the monitoring of patients on high risk medications.

  • Enable comparison with other GP Practices utilising the service.

  • Improve delegation of workload to your extended healthcare teams.

  • Improve education, professional development and CQC inspections.
