What is the context?


In Meddbase, adding a clinician involves creating a demographic record for a healthcare professional. This process is separate from user creation and focuses on capturing essential information related to the clinician's role and personal details. It allows you to register the clinician and add any optional information that may be relevant for their practice or scheduling.

What is the purpose of the article?


The purpose of this article is to provide clear, step-by-step instructions on how to add a clinician to Meddbase. This includes the required details for registration, as well as additional optional fields that can be added to ensure the clinician's record is complete. 

Please note: This is adding a demographic record for a clinician, this isn't creating a user.

 

Adding a Clinician


Adding clinicians, like adding patients, requires only a limited number of details and can be completed within minutes. Simply navigate to the ‘Add Clinician’ tool (Start Page > Clinician > Add Clinician) where you will be presented with the clinician’s ‘Personal Details’ page.
