UK Core Access
summary
UK Core Access produces a candidate implementation guide that defines read-only FHIR R4 REST APIs built on UK Core profiles, created in a 12‑week agile effort and tested in a live programme with NHS Somerset over 4–5 years where a consumer orchestration model brought 6–7 clinical data sources online with no consumer changes. It models three actors (consumer–patientIndex–clinicalDataProvider), uses capability statements, allows optional resource types but constrains search parameters, and targets NHS number identity while remaining compatible with IPA/IHE patterns.
