PS-1631 Message reminder and auto-completion settings

To encourage patients to respond to your messages, Patchs can now send one or more reminder emails, asking them to read and reply as soon as possible. Here’s how you can enable message reminders.

Patchs can now also automatically complete a Patchs request if a patient doesn't respond to a GP message within a specified number of days, and the request has been sent to the Awaiting Response inbox. Here’s how you can enable auto-completion.
