Clinical notes are saved against each appointment - simply click 'View note' against the appointment in question.

Your amendment is saved with a banner showing the amendment number, your name and the date. You can use full formatting in amendments, including headings, bold and lists.
To abandon your changes, click 'Cancel', then 'Discard changes'. Click 'Keep editing' if you change your mind.
