How do I use the postcode finder to enter patient details?
Go to the patient's 'Details' tab.
Under 'Contact details and preferences', type in the postcode.
Click the π magnifying glass icon to the right of the postcode box.
A list of applicable addresses will appear - choose the correct address from the list.
The rest of the address fields will be automatically populated.
π Please note: This is currently only available for UK addresses π¬π§
Why is postcode look-up beneficial for my practice?
Quicker and easier - reception/administrative staff can save time when inputting address details.
Increased accuracy - reduce the chance for human error by letting fields auto-populate.
Helps confidentiality - patients don't have to give their full address verbally in a busy waiting room.
π‘ Top tip: Patients can also make use of this function when providing their personal details on Dentally Portal.
