ePractice
Linking a GP to your patient
Our guide on Getting Started takes you through the basics of ePractice, including adding a patient. Our guide on Adding contacts takes you through creating your contact database directly from Contacts on the main menu.
To look for a patient already in your database click on Patients on the main menu and then click Patient List. Use the filters to refine your search, select the patient from the list and click Patient Details at the bottom of the preview pane.
Adding an existing GP
- Click on the GP tab and then Click to Add
- The Contacts for Patient: Patient Name screen will appear showing a list of all the GPs already in your contacts database
- Find the relevant GP by scrolling through the list or search using the Filter by: box and typing in part of the name
- Select from the list on the left and the details will appear on the right-hand screen
- Click Link Contact to Patient
Adding a new GP
- Click on the GP tab and then Click to Add
- The Contacts for Patient: Patient Name screen will appear showing a list of all the GPs already in your contacts database
- If the GP you want isn’t listed click Switch To Edit Mode at the top right of the screen and follow the steps on Adding a person in our Adding contacts guide.
Multiple GPs
You can link more than one GP to a patient. Follow the steps above to add more.
The first GP added will automatically be marked as the Primary GP. To change this just click on the GP you want to make primary and then click the blue arrow that will appear on the right-hand side.
