The above notes appear in the drop down on selecting appointment notes. There are two templates you can select from "VHG Initial Assessment" & "VHG Treatment Session Notes". Both templates can be seen in the clinical notes download. Explanations of each field is written in grey.

Notes automatically save every 30 seconds.

Before an invoice can be sent an appointment must be given an outcome and the correct notes template completed. There is a 48-hour cut off for this.

Should there be a DNA, the following appears minus the notes section for completion.


This is so a DNA reason can be provided. The reasons do differ depending on the attendance reason given.
