In Pracsoft it is not possible to permanently delete practitioners. However it is possible to flag them as being inactive. Once a Practitioner's record has been made inactive, they cannot log into Pracsoft until another user with a sufficient security level logs on and re-enables them. If the Practitioner has any locums associated with them you must either make the locums inactive first or assign them to another practitioner by modifying the locum's details. Flagging a Practitioner's record as inactive also flags their user record as inactive. Likewise reactivating a Practitioner's record, reactivates their corresponding user record.
