❓ I've received an error saying it can't add the patients.
If we cannot add your patient's, we will let you know along with the reason. It will look something like this.
❓ How can I resolve these errors?
If you've received...
Invalid Date of birth - this means the format in the CSV is not accepted. Please change to one of the following 24/06/1933 or 1933-06-24
Patient not found - this means we cannot match the date of birth and NHS number to a patient on PDS and therefore have not added them. Check that the details are correct.
Invalid NHS number (not shown above) - this means the NHS number does meet the expected format, it might have too many characters, etc. Please check your CSV.
X patients are already in the list - these patients are already in the list and we will not add them again
