ModelForm has no model class specified. Django

Question

I want to create a patient creating form for my system with Django but it is not working and I am getting an error:

ValueError at /create/ ModelForm has no model class specified.

I cannot understand that. I looked for similar question and I apply some solutions but it did not work. Where is my mistake? Can you help me? Thanks a lot for your attention.

views.py

def patient_create(request):

    if not request.user.is_authenticated:
        return Http404()

    form = PatientForm(request.POST or None, request.FILES or None)
    if form.is_valid():
        post = form.save(commit=False)
        post.user = request.user
        post.save()
        messages.success(request, "Başarılı bir şekilde oluşturdunuz.", extra_tags='mesaj-basarili')
        return HttpResponseRedirect(post.get_absolute_url())

    context = {
        'form': form
    }

    return render(request, "template/patient_form.html", context)

models.py

class newPatients(models.Model):

title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
first_name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
last_name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
created_date = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)
dept = models.TextField()
address = models.TextField()
phone = models.CharField(max_length=15)
notes = RichTextField(verbose_name="notes")

def publish(self):
    self.published_date = timezone.now()
    self.save()

def __str__(self):
    return self.title

def get_create_url(self):
    return reverse('post:create', kwargs={'slug': self.slug})

def get_unique_slug(self):
    slug = slugify(self.title.replace('ı', 'i'))
    unique_slug = slug
    counter = 1
    while newPatients.objects.filter(slug=unique_slug).exists():
        unique_slug = '{}-{}'.format(slug, counter)
        counter += 1
    return unique_slug

def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
    self.slug = self.get_unique_slug()
    return super(newPatients, self).save(*args, **kwargs)

class Meta:
    ordering = ['-created_date']

The Meta class is missing from PatientForm

class PatientForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = newPatients
        fields = [
            'title',
            'first_name',
            'last_name',
            'dept',
            'address',
            'phone',
            'notes',
    ]
