#### Step 1:

#### Click on the Active board and select 'Add Patient'.  ![](https://lh7-eu.googleusercontent.com/yUJEYwkZLmO3S82RL5tnQzlg495adnj17LMWw88trsn5Af9xH1d2tahj6OPWgSLbdiEvdXuzcFiZSgAzYTBX7fqIQaElAocARqFK8nOyC4FFeAvGe6g_JClFhaNgXW0TGI4jg6YsOefTAr6K1BpsVCM) Step 2:

Search for the patient using their NHS number.

#### Step 3:

 Using the 'Referrer' drop-down menu, select 'Other'. 

1. A pop-up box will appear in the bottom right-hand corner asking if you wish to proceed. Click the green tick to proceed.
