Saving message templates when composing a message

This article describes how to save message templates within the myGP Buddy toolbar whilst composing a message to a patient.

Select a patient

• Select a patient in your clinical system.
• Press the SystmOne or EMIS Web button within myGP Buddy.
• The patient will automatically sync into myGP Buddy.

Compose a message

• In the compose box, write your message.
• Please note the character counter in the bottom right of the compose box.
• Consider the length of the message as you may use an increasing number of SMS credits.
• Select whether the messages that use this template should code the message back to the record. Tick the “save to patient record” option.

Press create template

• Once you are happy with the message, tick the “create template” option.
• Press the send button.
• Name your template, so you can quickly refer back to this.
• If you wish, you can save this for your whole organisation, so this will be available for others to use at your practice.
• Press the save button.
• This is now added to your list of templates.
