Creating Letter Templates within Vision 3

Before you can generate a referral letter, create your template in Vision 3.

There is a specific Vision Anywhere merge field - <<REFERRAL_Content>>, this takes the entry in the Referral letter content box and imports it into the letter:

For practice level working, any templates that are to be used with Vision Anywhere must be saved in P:\WORDPROC\TEMPLATE\VA_Referrals folder.

Shared Care Organisations need to forward the completed template to VATemplates@visionhealth.co.uk, for testing and uploading to the appropriate cloud service.
