There are a number of ways this can be done. Most commonly it would be done while making an appointment.

1. Once you have navigated to the date & time for the appointment, right click & select Make an Appointment
2. This will open up the Patient Lookup box where you are able to search for the desired patient
3. If you are unable to locate the patient click the Create New Patient button
   
4. You are required to add a minimum of First & Last Name and all other fields are optional when initially adding a patient (but be aware that certain fields may be required, once the patient is admitted, for reporting purposes)
5. Once all desired information is entered click Save
6. The appointment screen will then open to add all required information for that particular booking

Patients are also able to be added without having an appointment scheduled.

1. Select the Patients tab from the left main menu
2. Search to see if the patient is already entered into the system
3. If they have not previously been added, click Create Patient
