Automatically book Patchs consultations into clinical system appointment diary to improve GPAD data quality

When patients submit a request, they should be automatically booked into an appointment slot in the clinical system. Or they could be booked manually by staff by selecting an appropriate slot (similar to how 'self-book' functionality works for patients) - this would have the advantage of allowing practice staff to book patients into other appointments too (e.g. telephone or face-to-face slots) if they cannot use 'self-book' links themselves. This will help improve the quality of General Practice Appointment Data (GPAD) because all activity related to PATCHS will be accurately captured.
