GPintheCloud was developed to enable Locums from anywhere in the UK to deliver support to primary care, across multiple clinical systems, without the need for dedicated NHS hardware. However, it has other potential use cases including the provision of primary care systems access to pharmacies, medical examiners and for primary care business continuity.
The service can be securely accessed from any device running Windows 10 or above. This includes both personal and corporate devices. Before using GPintheCloud you will need to install (or have your IT support install if a corporate device) the Windows Desktop Client which can be found here: Connect to Azure Virtual Desktop Windows 10 or 7 – Azure | Microsoft Docs
Mac OS
Access from Apple Mac devices has been tested providing the user is running Version 1.6.6 (1883) of the Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac client. However, due to repeated issues with some configurations, use with an Apple Mac is unsupported.
