In order to send out a campaign message, you will need to create a group first. The group can be made up from any mobile registered user within the myGP Connect system.

In order to create a group, follow these steps:

• Log in to your myGP Connect system
• Click on Campaigns found on the left-hand side menu
• Click on Groups

Here you can create a group from scratch. Please do the following:

• Click the Create Group button
• You see the Create Recipient Group pop-up box

• Name your group in the Group Name field
• Choose from Group Type options
• Then click Add Recipients
• This will bring you to the Edit Group pop-up box

Add patients via Patient ID (recommended for Emis/Vision users)

• Copy your patient’s ID numbers from your clinical system
• Paste the Patient ID numbers into the Patient ID box on the lower left
• Click the Move Selected arrow to the lower right
• Your patient will appear in the Recipient box to the right
• Click Save

Add patients via patient NHS number (recommended for TPP/SystmOne users)

This will save your Group as an entry on the main page.
