How-To Videos

This weeks how-to video shows you how to enable the 'Personal Pronouns' field on the patient record.

This feature was added in the last update (v1.5.7) and is disabled by default, follow the instructions in the video below to enable it.

A reminder to get in touch, for anyone that has eGOS claims stuck with a 'Submitted' status - likely due to the PCSE service disruption at the end of last year

If you think this may be the case then please get in touch with the helpdesk team who can quickly free them up and make them available for re-submission.
