Relocate session delete icon and add clear labeling to prevent accidental session deletion

Aaron Howearth
The session delete (trash can) icon is currently placed immediately adjacent to the 'Add patient details' area, creating an implicit association that suggests the trash can deletes patient details rather than the session. This counterintuitive design has led to accidental deletion of entire sessions when users attempt to remove incorrect client details. Aaron recommends: (a) relocating the delete session icon to the right of the 'Upgrade to Practice' icon to remove the implicit association with patient details, and (b) clearly labeling it as 'Delete Session (not recoverable)' or similar wording to reinforce that the action is irreversible. This change would reduce the risk of accidental session loss and protect patient/client health and wellbeing by ensuring therapy session notes are safely recorded.

Hi Aaron, thanks for that feedback! Will share this with the team to make it clearer and more obvious what the delete function is doing.
