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.
To create a demographic record for a clinician, the following details must be defined before saving:
- Name
- Surname
- Sex
- Security Policy
Additionally, you may choose to add the following optional details:
- Address
- Registration Number – Required if using GP Connect.
- Contact Details
- Secretary Details
- Bank and Payment Details
- Insurance Company Details
- Schedule Slot Length
- Referral Specialism (For use with the Meddbase referral network)
These optional details can be added or updated at any time after the clinician is registered.
