Previous versions

Important
  • The retirement status of the emergency supply of medicines use-case has been removed.
  • This version of the specification has been migrated from the NHS developer network. It does not change the guidance in the previous specification; however, it has been designed to make it clearer as to what data items are supported, and how they currently flow between community pharmacy and GP IT systems.

A complete list of previous versions can be found here.
