Can I search for a patient's address?

When entering a patient's address in the Patient Summary,  you have the option to use the Address Lookup box to find the full address:



This box uses a free Google service, and isn't guaranteed to find absolutely every address, but should help in most situations.

It isn't a postcode lookup, so to use it, just start typing your patient's address into the box:



The first time you use Address Lookup in a browser, you can choose to localise the results to increase your chances of finding the right address.  Tick the 'Localise Results' box under the Address Lookup before you get going:

Once you've found the address, select it from the list, and the address fields will populate:
