Greetings tab

What messages can I create?

Consent tab

What advanced consent questions can I ask patients?

How can I set up advanced consent questions?

Click the 'Consent' tab on the ‘Institution’ page. Tick the box next to each consent question you want the patient to see and click ‘Save’.

How do I include research partners and a link to more information in the questions?

Click the fields within each of the sections to add a custom partner and an associated link to the partner's website.

What does the 'Download Contact Details' button do?

If you click the 'Download Contact Details' button on the Consent tab, a CSV export will download which contains the entire list of patients in your team (both registered and unregistered). 

This CSV contains the following information about the patient: name, local and national identifiers, contact details, address, email address, date of birth, and registration status. The CSV also includes answers to the advanced consent questions, if a team has enabled these.

If a patient has more than one local or more than one national identifier, there will be one row for each number. For example, if they have two local identifiers there will be two rows for the patient in the CSV, one for each identifier.  The email address included in the CSV is the email address on the patient's record that's marked as 'main'.
