Consultation Template Builder

Last updated: 16 April 2026

Consultation Template Builder

The Template Builder lets you create reusable consultation templates that pre-populate clinical findings, SNOMED codes, and structured sections when a clinician starts a new consultation.

Getting Started

  1. Go to Configuration > Consultation Templates
  2. Click Create Template
  3. The template builder opens in full-screen mode for maximum editing space
  4. Save as draft or publish immediately

Template Metadata

Each template requires:

  • Name -- a descriptive title (e.g. "Menopause Review")
  • Category -- Acute, Chronic Review, Preventive, or Mental Health
  • SNOMED Concept -- the primary clinical concept for the template
  • Episode Type -- New Episode, Review, Flare Up, or End Episode
  • Description -- optional notes about when to use this template

Clinical Findings

The Template tab lets you add SNOMED-coded clinical findings that will be pre-populated when the template is used:

  1. Click Add Finding to search for a SNOMED concept
  2. Organise findings into collapsible sections
  3. Use the live preview panel on the right to see how clinicians will see the template

Publishing Workflow

Templates follow a three-stage lifecycle:

  1. Draft -- visible only in the template list, not available for use in consultations
  2. Published -- available for clinicians to select when creating a new consultation
  3. Archived -- hidden from the template picker but retained for reference

You can also Clone an existing template to create a variation without starting from scratch.

Practice vs System Templates

The template list has two tabs:

  • Practice -- templates created by your organisation, which you can edit
  • System -- read-only templates provided by Jump

Using a Template

When creating a new consultation, clinicians can select a published template. The template's clinical findings and sections are pre-populated into the consultation draft, saving time on structured data entry.

Tip: Use the live preview while building to check the template looks right before publishing.
