In addition to entering an address for an organisation, you should also enter a geographical information in the Lat / Lng section of the Setup tab of an organisation form.


This tells the system roughly where you offer a service, and is used in the following places:

  1. Checks client addresses are within this area
  2. Checks care worker addresses are not more than a sensible distance outside this area
  3. Searches in this area for GPs for a client
  4. Searches in this area for a pharmacy for the client


4 can cause problems where a client users a mail order pharmacy, since it can be well outside the area in which service is offered.  This means that the system will not return the pharmacy when you do a search.  In this case you should temporarily increase the radius to something large (like 2000), update the pharmacy and then reset the radius.
