Template Types

User

These templates are only saved for your individual user profile and not visible to other myGP Buddy users.

This is useful if you would like your own templates, but other users may not benefit from them.

Practice

These templates are shared across your organisation and visible to all users.

This should be used to standardise messages, or to save time sharing good templates within your surgery.
