• Click Edit (F3) or press (KEYBOARD: F3) to edit patient information

• To set up the HT Scheme, click Insert Scheme

• Insert the card number of the scheme you are linking the High Tech to

  Example - if you are linking High Tech and GMS, the GMS and High Tech schemes will share the same Card number and the GMS scheme will have the HT Link box ticked as shown below:

NB: Only tick the scheme that you are linking the High Tech scheme to
