Retrieve a patient's documents

DOCUMENTS_INTERACTIONS

The process of retrieving a patients documents is a two stage process and not a direct interaction.

Initially the consuming system must retrieve the patients correct identifier from the documents server.

This is because a patient's documents aren't stored directly against their NHS Number, it is an internal identifier that varies between providers.

Once the consuming system has the correct identifier it is now ready to hit the documents endpoint.

Further details can be found in the API Catalogue entry.
