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.

Add appointment types and cancellation reasons
Appointment book types tell the user what should be booked in that slot, as well as set the default appointment length and icon.
