Appointment Types

Waiting Room > Appointment Book

You can indicate the type of appointment a patient is scheduled for, such as 'Vaccination', 'Blood Test', or 'Emergency'. To do this, schedule the appointment first, and then right-click the appointment entry and select Type > from the menu that appears.

Once you have indicated the type of appointment, it is displayed alongside the patient's entry in the Waiting Room. There are 40 different appointment types provided with Pracsoft, and 39 of these are customisable.
