Please contact support@simpleclinic.net if you have not yet opted to upgrade to the new Prescription module UI. 

Only prescriptions created from now on, will show in the new format, existing Prescriptions will still show in the old format.


You can create a prescription in the following ways, then begin with step 1 to complete the prescription.

  1. From a Treatment Note -> select Create Prescription
  2. From the Patient Record -> select Prescribe
  3. From the Diary -> select the patient appointment -> select Prescribe 

Please note:  Set the status to Draft whilst completing the prescription to avoid patients accessing it via the patient portal prior to completion. Leaving it unspecified will mean it's active and able to be viewed via the patient portal.
