What is AccuBook?
AccuBook is a simple product built to help you manage appointments for your organisation's part in the Covid-19 vaccination programme. It is a web-based solution which allows you to:
create and manage vaccination clinics
invite patients to book themselves into these clinics, via SMS invites
book patients into clinics manually
manage which patients have booked, are yet to book, have declined to book, or have cancelled their booking
manage clinics on the day, recording which patients have arrived
Who can use it?
Practices vaccinating as a single organisation can use AccuBook to create and manage their vaccination clinics, and invite their patients to book appointments. If you're a single organisation, you could also use Batch Self Book. Find out more about this here.
For practices vaccinating as a group, a lead organisation is in charge of creating and managing clinic times and dates. The lead organisation invites other practices within their group to have access to the clinics they have created
Each participating organisation within a group can then invite patients to these clinics, and manage their bookings
How do I get access?
AccuBook is available for GP practices, Primary Care Networks (PCNs), and other vaccination sites across England to help manage vaccination clinics.
It is part of Accurx Plus, a premium tier of Accurx Desktop. Specifically, AccuBook is included in the Booking Module and will be available for your spring and autumn booster campaigns. You can learn more about all Accurx paid-for features, including how to get access, by clicking here.
Is the solution assured by the NHS?
Yes. AccuBook has been assured by NHS Digital for use as an appointment management solution.
Where can I find onboarding resources?
To help you get started, we have several resources available:
Set-up and support articles for your practice or PCN are available on our website.
A Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) template is available to help you complete one for your area just contact our support team for this
Is AccuBook the same as SelfBook?
No, AccuBook is our web-based solution designed predominantly for COVID-19 vaccination clinics. It doesn’t integrate with EMIS or SystmOne appointment books (or other Accurx products like Appointment Reminders).
Batch Self-Book as part of the Booking Module was designed to integrate with EMIS and SystmOne appointment books and it can be used to invite patients for any appointment type.
If you have access to Self Book you can continue to use AccuBook for your vaccination programmes. COVID-19 vaccination clinics can also be managed through the new Booking Module.
