Electronic MED3 Doctors Statement
Cegedim Healthcare Solutions developed an eMED3 form in conjunction with the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) which is completed during a normal GP consultation from the MED3 Structured Data Area (SDA) in Consultation Manager. The MED3 form includes all the information that is currently held on the handwritten MED3 form that has been in use since 2010 (for which DWP has statutory responsibility).
In England, eMED3 data is collected and sent electronically to the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) at regular intervals, see Electronic MED3 Extract - England for details.
Note - The completion of the eMED3 SDA must comply to current Social Security (Medical Evidence) Regulations. A DWP guide to the current regulations can be downloaded from www.dwp.gov.uk/healthcare-professional/guidance.
