Introduction

The GP Connect Access Record Structured API enables a Solution to request and consume a Patient’s GP Practice Electronic Patient Record (EPR) in a structured and coded format that is machine readable. The data will be made available via a standard API. Structured data allows the Consumer Solution to import and process the Patient data in the way it requires to best support Patients and the Health and Care Professionals treating them.

See Access Record Structured (developer.nhs.uk) for further information.

Requirements

Compliance, Assurance and Testing

To achieve GP Connect compliance as a Provider, Suppliers will need to complete the relevant Assurance Approach detailed under each of the specific requirement pages. To achieve GP Connect compliance as a Consumer, Suppliers will need to follow the Supplier Conformance Assessment List (SCAL). More detail on this can be found here.
