Triage options you can enable
All Triage options will be switched on by default, please pick and choose which you wish to keep enabled:
- Administrate request: This will allow a patient to request test results, a sick note, update contact details, a GP letter, or update contact details
- Medical issues: This will allow a patient to put in a specific request concerning a medical concern
- Prescription requests: This will allow a patient to order a repeat prescription via triage request
To disable it, simply click on the switch next to the category title.
Types of admin requests
Under Admin requests, you are also able to turn on and off specific requests.
You will notice the ‘Something else‘ option.ย This is a catch-all option for a patient to use if their inquiry does not match any of the other options.
If you do not want a specific request to be available (for example GP letter), click on it so the slider goes grey and all done!
Settings to control the triage requests
- Limit the amount of requests that can received in one day

Once you have completed these settings you are ready to turn on your triage system
