The previous system for reporting of Infectious Diseases was paper based and GPs were required to complete a "Notification of Infectious Diseases" form and send to Public Health. This system has been replaced by the Electronic Communication of Surveillance in Scotland (ECOSS) electronic system.

• Below is a link to the User Manual for the ECOSS system which includes step by step instructions on completing a Notification:
