Appointment Book

Set up appointment book sessions and holidays

An appointment book session is a period during which a provider is able to take appointments and provide consultations, including 'on the day' or reserved appointment blocks. Sessions can be used as part of a rolling roster. Bp Premier provides a standard set of appointment types, but practices can also create their own types.

A layout is a user or user group. When you apply a layout to the appointment book, only bookings for the selected users will be shown or can be made. For example, you might have a layout that includes all providers, or a layout for each provider.
