UK adaptation of the SyntheaTM Patient Generator

This is an adaption from a fork of SyntheaTM taken on the 15th May 2024.

SyntheaTM is a Synthetic Patient Population Simulator. The goal is to output synthetic, realistic (but not real), patient data and associated health records in a variety of formats. Read their wiki and Frequently Asked Questions for more information.

This adaptation makes a series of incompatible changes to SyntheaTM in order create a tool for NHS England called "swpc_synthea". These adaptions are listed in the MkDoc documentation pages.
