Description

Why are we doing this?

Several areas for possible improvement to the documentation for the nhs refset upload were identified during a session with Katie. This will mean future developers will find updating the refsets easier. We should also tell people about the NHS drug refsets which are now available on OCL.

How will we know when it's done?

The docs are updated, a bug is fixed, and a platform news is created.

What are we doing?

Check the existing help text and related tests or workflows before changing the documentation and upload behavior. Done means the listed guidance and bug fixes are complete, the NHS drug refsets are described, and a platform news item is created.
