How it works
Surgery Connect allows your Users to log in to any device, either within the practice or remotely to make and receive calls.
No matter which device you are using, so long as you are logged in, Surgery Connect will know it’s you and calls will come to and from your number. Supervisors can add new Users, change details for existing Users or delete Users who have left.
When you access the list of Users, you will see the following table:
