Record a patient has carers, one of which is not a patient with us?

Carers can be added within either Registration, using the Carer button for a selected patient, or within Consultation Manager in Patient Details. As carers are added, a carers list is built up from which you can select carers for other patients. You can also add to this list in File Maintenance, under the relevant Organisation (eg Social Services).

You can record either that the selected patient is cared for by a carer, who need not necessarily be a patient within the practice. Alternatively, you can select a patient and record that they care for someone (a registered patient) in your practice.
