What is the PatientNotes Extension?
The PatientNotes Chrome Extension adds a floating launch button to Splose, letting you open a new PatientNotes session in one click — with the patient's name pre-filled automatically.
It also adds a paste button directly inside note fields so you can instantly push your completed note from PatientNotes into Splose without copying and pasting manually.
💡 Using Pogozo, Cliniko or Nookal? You don't need this.
PatientNotes has a full direct integration with Pogozo, Cliniko and Nookal — patient details and notes sync automatically, so no Chrome extension is required. If you previously installed the extension for Pogozo or Nookal, you can safely remove it and use the integration instead. Learn more about our integrations →

Using the Extension on Splose
Starting a new session
A floating PatientNotes icon (the FAB) appears on the right side of every Splose page. Click it once to:
Open PatientNotes with the patient's name pre-filled
Load directly to New Session — ready to record
Pasting your note back into Splose
Once your session is complete and you've copied the output from PatientNotes:
Click into the note field in Splose where you want your note to go
The PatientNotes paste icon appears in the bottom-right corner of the field
Click the icon — your note is pasted instantly
📋 Paste icon tips
The paste icon only appears when you focus or hover over a note field. Your clipboard content is pasted as-is from PatientNotes — no reformatting needed.
Keyboard Shortcut

Opens a new PatientNotes session from any tab — no need to click the FAB.
