Address 

The surgery address.  You may enter up to four lines of thirty characters each.  At 

least one address line must be entered. 

Email 

This field will either contain  *  to indicate that the GP has an e mail address at this 

surgery or will be blank to indicate that no e mail address has been assigned.  You can 

use this field to assign an e mail address to a GP surgery, or amend an existing e mail 

address, via a pop up box. 

If the surgery has an e mail address, another pop up box is also available from this field, 

giving the GP code, GP name and Surgery address for all GPs who share this e mail 

address. 

To enter/check/amend the surgery e mail address, position the cursor in this field, and 

then using the key control sequence defined on your system to bring up the pop up box.  

Normally, this will mean pressing the 

,

and

 L

 keys at the same time.  If 

the GP has no e mail address entered, you can enter it in the pop up box.  If the GP 

already has an e mail address, but the address in the pop up box is incorrect, you can 

amend it. 

Certain characters may be encoded during input.  The insert, delete, backspace, home, 

and end keys are available to make it easier to edit an address. 

To remove the pop up box, press 

.  Any changes you have made will be 

retained on the system. 

To check which surgeries (if any) share this surgery's e mail address,

position the cursor 

in this field, and then using the key control sequence defined on your system.  In this 

case, this will normally mean pressing the 

,

and

 <   >

 keys at the same 

time.  This pop up box is read only.  To remove it from the screen,  press 

. 

Note that if you modify the e mail address via this field, and then use the other pop up 

box to check which surgeries share the address, the pop up box will list surgeries 

which share the amended address, although it has not yet been updated.  The GP 

surgery whose e mail address you have just modified will not be displayed in the list 

until the amended address has been updated on the system.
