Publication of UK Core Access API Vision
19 December 2024
NHS England and HL7 UK have published a vision for a UK Core Access API, which is supported by NHS Wales. NHS Scotland is also aware of it, though it is at an earlier stage of FHIR adoption.
This has been developed to start moving to synchronous REST APIs and to provide guidance for developers on accessing HL7 FHIR UK Core.
The vision statement for it is linked below. Please read it, and if you have any comments, please email Jonathan.telfer1@nhs.net and the chair of HL7 UK Benjamin McAlister at chair@hl7.org.uk.
Even if you have no specific comments but believe it is a positive step forward, then please provide that feedback. The more support we have behind it the better.
