This section functions in a similar manner to the Patient Details screen. It is designed to hold details for any external practitioner such as local GP's or other practitioners. On entering the section you can either search for a practitioner or enter a new one.
To enter a new external practitioner click the “Add” button. Complete the fields and select the practitioner type from the drop down list. Click “Insert” to save the details or “Back” to cancel.
You can search for a practitioner who is already in the system by first name, last name or type or a combination of the three. Leaving the fields blank will return all external practitioners in the system. Click “Search” to search.
If there are no matching results the page will be blank otherwise click on “View” on the same line as the result to view the practitioners record.
Once in the external practitioners record you can update any fields and save by clicking “Update”. You can also delete a practitioner from the system using the “Delete” button. You will be prompted to confirm this before the system deletes the record.
