The html code for the table holding the checkbox is below.

```
                    <table id='encounterTable' class="table table-condensed table-striped table-hover">

The solution that worked for me was;

WebDriver driver = DriverFactory.getWebDriver()

IWebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@type=‘checkbox’ and contains(@value,‘5E46F2F1-EB0A-4E70-808B-C641ED5E57EB’)]")).click();
