Unlinked Status
If at any time, the link to the national spine drops out, or does not connect, the status is Unlinked. The (UNLINKED) 
status displays at the top of the screen in Consultation Manager in front of the patient's name and details:
The patient record also displays (UNLINKED) if, after Patient Select, the local record cannot be matched against a PDS Spine record by NHS Number.
As when working offline you cannot access national services while unlinked, nor access records from the national spine.
