Add a Consultant to a Hospital Department

You can enter a consultant attached to a hospital department. This means that referral letters can be personalised.

The same principal can be used to enter other medical staff, or non-medical staff, attached to an organisation, for example, a social worker attached to Social Services organisation. In fact Person can refer to any external people, not directly employed by or attached to the practice.

Note - a Person can also be added directly to an organisation without a Department being added first, though you cannot use this for referrals in Consultation Manager, which need a department.

From Control Panel, select File Maintenance and click on Organisation to list existing organisations.

3. Then click on the department where you are going to add a consultant.
