| 5887 | Patient Record | Performance Improvement: Patient Record Data Tables
|
| 6404 | Stock | Multiple stock records can now be Discontinued or Reinstated in a single action using the new bulk update option available in both Quick Prices and Quick Prices ALL. This streamlines stock maintenance and reduces the time required to manage product availability.  |
| 6431 | Staff Tasks | Staff Tasks created from a patient note now automatically include the associated patient name and reference number in the task title, making it easier to identify and manage patient-related tasks at a glance. |
| 6432 | Patient Records | A dedicated Edit button has been added to the patient record, providing quicker and more convenient access to patient record editing functions. |

| 6452 | Patient Record | It is now possible to select the email template used when sending a GOS2 or Rx form directly from the examination table on the patient record page, providing greater flexibility and control over patient communications.  |
| 6453 | Examinations | A dedicated Recommendations Notes box has been added to the Recommendations component within the examination record, providing a clear and structured area for recording additional recommendation-related notes. |
| 6457 | Report Templates | A new Image component type has been added to the Report Template Creator, allowing images to be included within report templates. This can be used to display the branch logo by linking the component to the Branch Logo merge field, helping to create more professional and branded reports.  |
| 6458 | Integration | A new integration for Visual Extreme has been added. Required data is now automatically transmitted on a scheduled basis, reducing manual effort and ensuring information is sent consistently and on time. |
| 6469 | Online Booking | The online booking system has been updated to automatically skip the Branch Selection page when only one branch is marked as active in settings. Patients are now taken directly to the appointment selection step in the booking process, reducing unnecessary clicks and creating a faster, more streamlined booking experience. |
| 6470 | Examinations | To make reviewing records faster and easier, an Expand All button has been added to both the Examination Record and the Patient Record. This allows users to expand all sections with a single click and quickly review complete record information.
|
| 6474 | Patient Search | Legacy Reference has been added to the patient search function, allowing users who have migrated from other systems to search for patients using their original reference number. This makes it easier to locate existing records and supports a smoother transition from legacy platforms. |
