Wales FHIR Implementation Guide

Naming Systems

The following Naming Systems are published within this guide for use within Wales. For more information please see UK Naming Systems.

Data Standards Wales is responsible for the creation of namespaces and OIDs for NHS Wales systems. If you require one to be created please contact them using the email on the help and support page and ask for the link to the request form (internal to NHS Wales).

As there are several hundred systems currently registered with OIDs it has been decided that they will not all be added as naming systems. To be pragmatic, we have added the most used, high-level system identifiers shared between systems. Please remember that identifiers are extensible so you are not limited to only referencing the below namespaces. Further information can be found on the Naming Systems design page.
