Introduction

GPIT Futures programme main vision is to accelerate and extend data access to patients in an efficient way. Part of that accelerating work is the patient facing services (PFS) which would enable seamless access of data for patients from Foundation System suppliers.

This implementation guide in particular will be focusing on the Prescriptions Management API developed in order to allow patients to view their current prescriptions, request a new instance of their current prescriptions and cancel a prescription request.

One of the key APIM policy demands that any new APIs developed would be conformant to FHIR R4 UKCore standard.
