We have a huge range of templates across a number of categories that you can use in your General Practice or Allied Health Practice.
To find a specific template, press Ctrl+F and then type the keyword or topic you are looking for. If you don’t find the topic the first time, try variations, different terms or fewer words. The templates provided by us are for your personal use only and must not be redistributed without permission. They have been tested with Version 1.8.4.642 of Best Practice and Version MD3.16 of Medical Director.
Many templates are available under the ‘Supplied’ section of most clinical software or searchable online from their respective organisations. If you have templates that you would like to share with your peers and/or have any enquiries please email the Practice Support and Digital Health team or phone them on 1300 986 991.
An OPEN template, which is the MS-Word or PDF version of a template allows you to open and view the template before downloading it into your practice software. You can also use the Open version to complete assessments without going through the practice software.
The templates provided by CESPHN are for your personal use only and must not be redistributed without permission. They have been tested with the versions of Best Practice (1.8.4.642) and Medical Director (MD3.16).
