Assign a Named GP to the patient

All patients placed on the Personal Care Plan Register must have a nominated (assigned) GP.

Currently, it is not possible to filter and add the Usual or Registered GP on the template. So to identify and report on the named GP it is recommended that you create a pre-defined list of GP's and allocate a GP number to each GP for example GP01 is Dr Brown, GP02 is Dr Jones etc.

To setup and allocate a named GP:

  1. Select Codeset on the Name and Accountable GP line.

  2. Select Comments .

    Selecting Comments

  3. To enter a new comment start typing, for example GP01 Dr Brown. If you press return you move to a new line as if you are creating a new comment. Once all the GP's are entered, click OK to save the changes.

    Note - The Comments button is a practice wide setting, so it may contain other non-related comments.
  4. Next, tick the Apply box alongside the Clinical term 67DJ - Informed Patient Accountable GP.
  5. Select the drop-down Comments box and select the nominated GP from the list.

  6. Select OK.
    Important - You must always use the same GP number for each GP so that it is unique to that GP, for example GP001 is always Dr Brown.
