This guidance is under active development by NHS Digital and content may be added or updated on a regular basis.

CodeSystems

There is one set of CodeSystems to be used with this API.

This code system https://fhir.hl7.org.uk/GPConnect-PrescriptionOrderingParameters defines the following codes:

CodeDisplayDefinition
preferred-performerPreferred performerThe preferred performer to dispense the prescription.
sent-to-epsSent to EPSThe prescription request has been sent to EPS to be fulfilled.

Preferred-performer

The preferred performer code is to be used when the patient wants the prescription to be dispensed by a one-off pharmacy (not their nominated one on the Personal Demographics Service (PDS)).

This code should be added to the Task.Input upon making the request.
