In my Copy and Paste Fail<\/a> post I talked about moving the Wellbeing Booking app that I developed onto my server, I am pleased to say that I have manged to get it working and the demo can be accessed by clicking the Web App Demo link on the top navigation bar or via this link: www.vaughan.dev\/app<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The app is only in HTML and CSS due to the dependencies of Symfony being out of date and to make sure that it is still functioning with minimal upkeep so some features are missing in the demo such as form validation.\u00a0 \u00a0This was a fully functioning web app where emails were being sent from on NHS email account to another to make the transfer of patient information secure.\u00a0 Unfortunately the Wellbeing Service postponed its use before testing could happen as the service was already at capacity.<\/p>\n

The app had to be mobile responsive as the users maybe accessing the website in a hurry and likely on a mobile phone.<\/p>\n

Via an administration panel the Wellbeing administrators would be able to add new courses with the following information:<\/p>\n
