The file upload instructions on the bulk message patient upload page have been updated so they show for both clinical systems.
Practice Setup

For practices with SystmOne Integration
Patient Registration & Login
PS-3185 - Email verification
When patient or carer users have verified their email address, they are now required to enter their login details.
PS-3088 Carer statement on NHS Login page
From your practice's landing page, carer users are advised to ‘Continue with Patchs’ rather than use NHS Login.

Patients are re-directed appropriately when there’s a mismatch of ODS code.
Outbound Messaging
PS-2965 - Phone number visibility when sending templates
Phone numbers are now fully visible when sending templates.

Patchs Admin users who also have CCG reporting permissions can now access the Practices Settings pages.
