Participation in the Service The first FFT data to be submitted to NHS England will be the data collected during January 2015. After that, FFT data will be submitted monthly. Before the first submission date, NHS England will offer you the FFT Service through CQRS, allowing you to submit monthly data for the practice. Once NHS England has offered the Service it will appear in your CQRS Message Centre as a 'new task'. To view the offered Service either select the 'Task Summary' link or select the 'Participation Management' tab from the main menu. Select the checkbox to the left of the Service and then select the option 'Accept Service'. A confirmation message will be displayed to make sure that you wish to accept the selected service. Select the 'Yes' button to accept the Service. CQRS will then display a confirmation message that the FFT has been successfully accepted. You can then manually enter the achievement data. If you are expecting to be offered the Service, but it has not come through on CQRS, please contact the NHS England FFT team at england.friendsandfamilytest@nhs.net.
