· Use T to bring up template menus

· Use D to open the practice diary:

Overdue entries are highlighted in red. Entries can be added using A (follow the prompts to set a review date), or deleted using D.

From this menu use M to open the major alert dialogue. This allows you to display a message whenever a patient’s name is selected for the first time in any session. This is a very useful feature for ensuring that important information is not missed.

In this menu use A to add a critical alert, D to delete an alert, and E to edit an existing alert. It is possible to add several lines of information. It is also possible to insert information into the dialogue using a macro, without deleting any already displayed (useful for taking action on search results)

From the diary menu you can also use P to display past appointment details over the past year.

· Use L from the main medical record menu to open practice notes (used for sending an message within the practice, with linked patient details). This will be covered in a later section

· Use W, from the extended menu, to open the word processor. This will also be covered in a later section
