It is possible to create patient notes on a patient record which are NOT visible to the patient.

Select the patient you would like to add a note to.

Click on the floating + button on the bottom right of the screen. This will show you three options to select from: Record a visit, Clear all alerts,

Send message and Create note.

Click on Create note. This will open a new window for writing a note.

Type the note then click on Add.

The note will then appear in the diary view with a stethoscope sign next to it.

If you started the note process in error, then click on the Cancel button and a note will not be saved.
