National Slot Categorisation - England
Appointments Setup Version 3.1 is now available to all practices in England. As part of this release we are introducing the ability to map your new and existing appointment slot types to the national slot categories defined by NHS Digital. This must be done to enable consistent and reliable reports to be extracted and consolidated at a national level by NHS Digital starting on 30th June 2021 (See NHS England DES criteria here).
Matching your existing slot types to the national categories is very easy, using the new Appointments Set-up app, simply navigate to the mapping section, filter uncategorised slot types and start mapping. Click here for detailed instructions.
See the Appointments Help Centre for further information.
