Scheduling - a bookable period on a Schedule. Follows the Interweave Slot.
Equivalent FDP Canonical Data Model (CDM) v1.0.0 objects: Clinic Slot.
Differences:
appointmentId.The CDM is a downstream persistence model, used here as evidence of what NHS operations record, not as a design source. Mapping by property name - To confirm. See FDP Canonical Data Model Mapping for the full mapping.
