Deleting Patients
Care should be taken when deleting a Patient record, as it will also delete all related data such as Studies and Documents. If the Patient does have linked Studies or Documents, you will be unable to delete it unless you also have the required permissions to delete these also.
To delete patients, select the patients you want to delete by ticking the checkbox beside it and clicking the "Delete" button above.
