Notes to Editors

EMIS Group is the UK's leading supplier of clinical software and related services to GP practices and other healthcare practitioners and a major supplier to high street pharmacies. 52.2%* of GP Practices in the UK have an EMIS Group system. In addition, 36.0%* of high street pharmacies have an RX Systems application.

The Group's core activities include software development, software licensing and support, data centre hosting, hardware support and maintenance services, hardware sales, third party software sales and training services.

The Group's software includes all of the functionality specified in NHS accreditation standards for GPs, including holding the patient's "cradle to grave" electronic healthcare record, practice appointment booking systems and consultation and intelligent prescribing modules as well as a full range of high street pharmacy software products and related services.

EMIS Web represents the next generation of clinical software systems and the Directors believe it has the potential to transform the delivery of healthcare by enabling GPs and other healthcare practitioners to connect with each other and securely share access to a patient's cradle to grave electronic health record.

Established in 1987, EMIS Group' shares were listed on AIM under the trading symbol EMIS.L following a successful fundraising in March 2010.
