This Implementation Guide is the NHS Digital FHIR Medicines Implementation Guide extension to the core NHS Digital FHIR Implementation Guide which is derived from the UK Core Implementation Guide V2.
This guide is to be used across NHS Digital FHIR R4 API's when implementing Medicines. It should be used in conjunction with the Dose Syntax Implementation Guide which specifies the requirement for structured dose syntax in FHIR (R4).
