Engage Client

Practice staff may use any of the browsers listed above.  However, for full integration with a clinical system, Engage Client is recommended.  In either case all services are delivered over HTTPS (port 443).

The following clinical systems are supported:

• Emis Web
• TPP Systm1
• Vision

The latest, production-ready, Engage Client can be downloaded from: https://download.engage.gp/vixie/vixie.exe

The Engage Client is supplied as a portable executable file to make it as straightforward as possible for users (i.e. without administrative rights on their local computer) to get started.  Just download vixie.exe to any folder on the local computer and run it. We recommend saving to a shared folder so that practice staff can easily pick up a copy to put on their desktop.

Operating Systems

• Windows 7 (32/64 bit)

• Windows 10 (32/64 bit)

• CEFSharp. This is shipped inside Engage Client (versions 1.3.20302.12 and above) and is automatically extracted to the user’s AppData\Local\Temp folder.  Some security software (Applocker is one known example) may detect this and prevent correct functioning.  Particularly for Engage Client running inside a Vision RDP environment, this will need to be whitelisted.
