The story
As a new patient, I want to book an appointment online, so that I don't have to phone during opening hours.
Acceptance criteria
- Given there are free slots this week, when I open the booking page, then I see the next available times as a list
- Given I pick a slot and enter my details, when I confirm, then I get a confirmation on screen and by email
- Given the slot was taken while I was choosing, when I confirm, then I am told and offered the nearest alternatives
