Allow practitioners to add patients' NHS number
Your healthcare practitioners can add patients to their Physitrack account extremely easily. To best protect privacy, we ask for as little patient data as possible: first and last name plus year of birth are enough for Physitrack to work correctly.
However, there are situations when you want to use some more data from your patient, e.g. a unique identification number. Are you located in the UK and have a Physitrack account on our UK server? Then you can allow your practitioners to enter their patients' NHS number too.
