Innovation and migration in Grampian
Episode 78
Monday, 28 September, 2026
Dr David Cooper, GP in Aberdeen, SNUG co-chair, and chair of the NHS Grampian Primary Care IT group, joins us for an update on digital general practice in Scotland. Naturally, we start with the EMIS-to-Vision migration: half of Grampian's practices have already switched, and David talks through the learning curve practices are facing, why the transition has been pushed back at his own practice, and what he's hopeful the "one system for Scotland" approach could eventually deliver, from reduced training needs to better integration with Docman and Adastra. We briefly ponder some of the recent worries around the future capabilities of AI before returning to use in primary care, where David gives his current take on AVT, Copilot, and where he does and doesn't see AI changing the GP's role, including how his trainees are already using AI tools for both admin and self-directed feedback on their consultations. We close with a look at Microsoft 365 and Copilot more broadly, and a consider whether SNUG has a role to play in helping primary care staff get more out of the M365 tools that remain underused across the health board.
