Missed Appointment View

At the bottom of the template any previous missed appointments here or at the hospital (as long as you record them) will show.

Moderate Risk - if there are more than two appointments missed and/or there are any concerns about the child or their family, or any mental health/ongoing medical issues 

High Risk - known issues about the child and their family, existing health problems, existing problems engaging with healthcare
