National Vision User Group

The National Vision User Group is an independent non-profit making organisation supporting general practices that use the Vision, a Windows based software package used in Primary Health Care across the United Kingdom and supplied by INPS. It was established in 1984 and is the oldest independent user group in GP computing. It is run by users for users and helps practices to get the most out of Vision.

We work with the company providing user input and meet regularly with the senior management. Software developments are discussed with members through meeting of the National Panel. The NVUG also works with the BMA, RCGP, and other national organisations and was instrumental in establishing a forum for all user groups to meet with the BMA to discuss important issues.
