Something not right?

Nothing you do in ClinicPro can damage a patient record, so it is always safe to try again.

I can't see ClinicPro under ALEX Apps

Your staff role may not have ALEX Apps ticked. Ask your practice manager to check your role.

The QR code won't scan

Try Google Lens, and make sure the ClinicPro window isn't partly hidden. Codes expire, so close ClinicPro and open it again.

The patient says the email never arrived

Check the email address in their record, ask them to look in junk, then send a fresh link.

I can't see the envelope

The envelope appears once your email filing is set up and switched on. Check the cog, My email filing.
