yes but only one (the first) reason will appear elsewhere in the database is what i should have emphasized 9so the point od adding more is rather lost) - for example in the summary of previous consultations (the right side panel of the progress notes page -sorry may have the name wrong as i m now at home).

so if you wanted to find all the consultations regarding asthma or all the consultations regarding diabetes in a patient with both conditions you would be stuffed up if the patient happened to have both dealt with at the same consultation.

a shame because this very basic functionality is an early win for GPs using coding rather than freetext.

Que?  You can go around the 'Reason' button and choose further items
from the list of coded terms as many times as you like.  I often would
code four reasons for the consultation and sometimes eight.  It would
have been good if HCN had followed the convention of being to hold down
the CTRL button and click on as many items from the patient's list of
existing long term problems as we wish, though, to make it easier and
faster to code more than one reason for the consultation.
