The Patchs 1.76 release includes the following feature updates and bug fixes.
Patient messaging
PS-2506 - Send as SMS as a practice default
From your practice's feature settings page, Patchs Admin users can now make 'Send as SMS' the default when sending patient messages.
When 'Send as SMS' is your practice's default, the Send as SMS option will be ticked automatically when sending a patient message.
PS- 2554 Send messages in body of SMS
From your practice's feature settings page, Patchs Admin users can now make available, 'Sending messages in the body of SMS and email' for reply not required messages.
With this feature enabled, when sending a patient message, you will be able to choose to send your message content in the body of an SMS (and/or email), meaning that the patient will be able to see the message without opening a link.
Inboxes
PS-2793 Inboxes filtering by patient Date of Birth or NHS number.
To make it easier to find requests in an Inbox you can now filter by:
- Name (firstname surname)
- Date of Birth (e.g. DDMMYYYY)
- NHS number
Inbox and Patient search
Search details and pagination a are now preserved when navigating inbox and patients pages.

PS-2796 Improve video calling for staff on mobile
Video calling has been improved for staff using a mobile device:
Patient details page displays so that it can be viewed and used more easily.
