In late 2010, CCCGPT partnered with 4 other Regional Training Providers (Adelaide to Outback GP Training, GP Synergy Ltd., General Practice Training Tasmania and Southern GP Training) and JAM Web Services Pty Ltd to start researching and planning the next version of GPRime, G.Prime 2.0. Development of this new system will begin later this year, with the new system going live in August/September 2011.

G.Prime 2.0 will be a complete rewrite of the original version of GPRime and will address key areas of weaknesses identified. G.Prime 2.0 will be built using the latest industry-standard frameworks and will be supported by a dedicated server platform which will increase performance and speed while also ensuring the reliability and security of the system. The User Interface and Design will be overhauled and a slicker, newer and more intuitive design will be used. Educational Tools like the Learning Planner will be modified to be easier to use while also including features that enable a more integrated learning environment.

Throughout development, we will keep you notified of progress. If you would like more information about G.Prime 2.0, follow this link:http://www.gprime2.com.au/comingsoon or contact Jared McCorkindale at CCCGPT on jmccorkindale@ccctraining.org.
