PCSE

October 2020 - PCSE has now agreed with NHSEI to move the launch date for new-style paper GOS forms to 1 February 2021. All contractors will have received a contingency pack of new forms in the post recently, please keep these safe but continue to use current paper forms until 31 January 2021.

They have also paused the rollout of the online GOS claims service to new users. Those who are yet to move to the new system will be required to wait until new rollouts resume later this year.

On 20th July 2020 a letter from NHS England outlined the move to online claims, and changes to GOS claims effective from 1st October 2020. Following this letter:

  • A number of Getting started with PCSE Online webinars were run during August and September 2020. Recordings of the webinars are available through the PCSE YouTube channel. Please subscribe to the channel to be notified when further recordings are published. The YouTube channel also has a Katrina Explains… playlist with demos of the system to show you how to get started, how to make successful claims, and how to navigate through some of the less intuitive scenarios. The videos are short (approx. 3mins – 8mins) and are definitely worth watching.

PCSE online was launched nationally in October 2019. Extensive information on all aspects of submitting GOS forms, claiming payments, CET grants and pre-reg training grants is available here https://pcse.england.nhs.uk/services/ophthalmic-payments/.

Performer list applications and changes may now be made online also. See https://pcse.england.nhs.uk/services/performers-lists/ophthalmic-performers-list-for-england/. Performers who don't have access to PCSE online should contact [email protected].
