Q: My patient has an allergy where should I record this so other theatre users are aware

A: You should record this in your patients record as an Alert.  Go to Patient Details and across the top click on the Alerts tab.  When you click on this tab you will find a button becomes available in the left hand context menu called New Alert.  Select this and then find the alert you want to attach to your patient.  You will see there you can mark your alert as confidential.  By selecting this it will be seen in the system but will not print out anywhere.  In the same way you can also mark an alert as resolved.  Once you have picked your alert you will then see an exclamation mark against your patient.  When you hover over this you will see what is recorded against the alert.
