Booking Joint Appointments

Note - This is only available if you access Appointments from your Desktop.

From Appointments you can book joint appointments within a specified time frame with one or more clinicians. For example, an appointment with a doctor and another appointment with a nurse either at the same time or within a specified time frame set up in Preferences - General. This joins the appointments so that if you update one of the appointments the other updates automatically.
