If the above SMS template was sent to a patient named Paul, regarding his appointment with Dr John Smith, this is how it would translate into an SMS message:

"G'day Paul. This is a reminder that your next appointment at The Medical Practice with Dr John Smith is on 10/11/2015 at 10:15am"

To create another SMS Template, click the Plus Icon.

To Edit an SMS Template, click the name drop down and select the SMS Template you wish to edit, then click the Pen Icon.
