Uploading Patients using a CSV file

If your version of MCH Software Solutions includes Patient Management, administrators may be granted permission to upload or update patients in bulk through the use of a .csv file. In order for this feature to work correctly, it is important that the data has been prepared appropriately:


1. Preperation work

The CSV file will need all of the following headers included:
Please double check the correct capitalisation, spacing and punctuation in these headers to avoid any upload errors.

  • Sex
  • Insurer
  • Telephone
  • Mobile
  • Address1
  • Address2
  • Address3 (Town)
  • Address4 (Country)
  • Postcode
  • Email

Patient No., Title, Forename, Surname, DOB, Insurer, Telephone, Mobile, Address1, Address2, Address3 (Town), Address4 (Country), Postcode, Email

  • Patient No.
  • Title
  • Forename
  • Surname
  • DOB


2. Adding Patient Information

Patient data should be included as new rows within the csv file. Please note that while many fields are not required, the headers still need to be included in order for the csv to be uploaded properly.

Below is an example of valid patient data:
