Surgeons are generally very busy, and often do not have the time to in put all of their own data, and quickly fall behind. For this reason, we have offered enhanced security. This feature offers the ability to allow a practice manager, secretary, assistant, registrar or whoever you choose, to enter your cases for you without allowing them to access your sensitive data - such as outcome statistics. If a person entering data then clicks on a page that is protected it will be blocked - example below. Simply enter the correct PIN to unlock the screen. 

a. The PRA/CPD calculator is available on the dashboard. It gives the ability to easily see how many points you have earned and how many points you could earn (potential points - are records that have not been completed yet). This is adjustable via the filter bar at the bottom, so you can simply select what time period you need to know points for. * Remember to click "Go" when you have selected the dates you need. 

b. The PRA certificate can be generated via the "certificate" link located in the drop down menu under your username at the top right of the screen. To adjust the dates on the certificate you need to have adjusted the dates back on the calculator graph (see above). You can then print the certificate.
