📄 How to generate a patient letter

Once you're happy with your clinical note:
​

1️⃣ Click 'Create document' and select the letter template you'd like to use.

💡 Any template with 'PDF' in the title will generate a PDF letter that can be saved to your EPR.
​

2️⃣ Review the letter for accuracy and make any adjustments needed.
​

3️⃣ When you're happy, click 'Save and send', and the PDF letter is automatically saved to your EPR system.
​


​

💡 The letter is also automatically sent to the patient's GP via MESH in the background - no action is needed from you for this.

There are three things that happen at this stage:

  1. The letter is saved to your EPR

  2. The letter is automatically sent to the patient's GP via MESH

  3. You send the letter to a colleague and/or the patient


​

💡 Copying a letter or note manually
​

If you copy a note or letter using the 'Copy' button, this only places the content on your clipboard — it won't mark the item as transferred. To mark it as transferred, click the chevron (˅) next to the primary button after copying and select the option to mark it as transferred.
​

Transferred status applies to each note or letter separately. A note and a letter from the same consultation can be marked independently and can sit in different states — you can check each item's status from the consultation header or the sidebar.


📄 Sending to a colleague

You can send the letter to a colleague or your admin team with an instruction or note.
​

1️⃣ Type your message in the text field (e.g. "Book an appointment in 6 months")
​

2️⃣ Select the colleague you want to send it to
​

3️⃣ Click 'Send'
​

Your colleague will receive the message in their Accurx inbox. Unread messages are shown with a red bubble. From there, they can:

  • View the content of the letter

  • Download the PDF

  • Print or email it if needed

  • Add a reply or note back to you

  • Mark the message as done once actioned

💡 To confirm the message has been sent, go to your Accurx inbox and search for the colleague's name under the 'Colleagues' folder. Unread messages are shown with a red bubble.
