For registration-linked practices, amendments to the Title generate an Amendment Transaction in England & Wales, but not in Scotland.

Note about Master title:

• By default the title Master is not visible from the title list in the registration screen. There is a setting in Control Panel - Staff Configuration which allows you to enable this. See Control Panel on-screen help for further details.
• English practices - Master is not recognised by the Personal Demographics Service (PDS). It is therefore recommended that it is not used when registering a patient.
