Consultation notes belong to the appointment they are written for, so you reach them from the appointment rather than from the main menu. A note without a visit attached is hard to make sense of later.

Steps

  1. Go to Bookings → Clinic and open the appointment.
  2. Press Go to SOAP.
  3. Fill in the four parts:
    • what the owner told you
    • what you found on examination
    • what you think is going on
    • what you are doing about it
  4. Save.

Fill in what is relevant. A short note that is actually written beats a long one that never gets finished.

Why it is worth the two minutes

The next person to see that pet, which may be you in six months, starts from what you wrote. A pet that reacted badly to something last time is exactly the sort of thing nobody remembers and everybody needs.

If something goes wrong

If you cannot find the notes, open the appointment first. They live with the visit rather than on their own.
