Support GP postcode instead of ODS code in CSV uploads #213

Open eatyourpeas opened 3 months ago

eatyourpeas commented 3 months ago

In the current NPDA, users are encouraged to look up the ods code for a child's GP themselves here and then add that to their csv submission. A better implementation though would be to accept a GP postcode and retrieve the ODS code from the spine. There is a currently a function gp_practice_for_postcode which does this and works. We need to decide whether we continue to accept ods codes if supplied, or whether we also accept GP postcodes instead or both.

@eatyourpeas is this for the CSV upload specifically? You can specify either in the UI. Linking this issue to #164 as the current lookup is fussy about spaces

sorry - yes, that was what i was thinking. NPDA team may tell us that changing the .csv layout is too much of a head ache to do this, so potentially it could just be an option in the UI. We could have a hybrid solution where ODS is an optional field in the csv, and could be updated in the UI optionally using the postcode
