Roles, Organisations and Business Activities

User Role Profiles (URPs) define your GP Practice, your role and any additional business activities allocated to you.

Note - You can have a number of URPs if you have more than one role.

Each URP automatically allows you certain business activities, common to your role. The basic set of activities assigned to any role is nationally agreed and those in primary care referred to as the Primary Care Baseline. Activities are specific rights which map directly to Vision 3 activities.

If a user is working at a second organisation, a separate URP must be defined which again defines the role they perform and any additional business activities. If the GP undertakes sessions at a local hospital, then a separate role of, for example, consultant, is defined, and a separate organisation, for example, the relevant hospital.

A user can also have more than one URP with the same organisation but each with a different role.

Training Tip -If you are working within Vision 3 under one role, fro example, a GP, and want to carry out activities under a second role, for example, a Manger, you have to sign out of Vision 3 and then log back in with the appropriate role selected
See Practice Sponsors and Registration Authorities (RAs) for details.
