Brief Overview
Appointment Types are used to describe the kind of appointment that a patient is booked in for, for example, an initial consult, a follow up consult, or a surgical appointment. Appointment Types are colour coded so you may tell what kind of appointment the patient is booked in for from a glance.
Appointment Types may only be added and edited by a Practice Admin user.
