My locum, bless his cotton socks, will not use my practice software with any amount of pursuasion (my own self-written years ago - fabulous program, but I'm not biased), so as a result the only way he will work in the practice is if I provide a copy of mdw2 for his use only!!!!!!. He does write what he has done in the paper notes for each patient . Yes, dangerous, and the worst of all worlds.
