Introduction

Overview

This page provides guidance for implementing the Booking and Referral Standard (BaRS) specifically for the NHS 111 (telephony) to Emergency Department (ED, also known as Accident and Emergency or A&E) and Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC) use cases. It should be used alongside the BaRS Core implementation guide and Payload Definitions when developing to the standard.

Data model endorsements

The referral information data model is based on user research with NHS 111 service providers, 999 Ambulance Service Trusts and clinical and administrative Emergency Department staff. We carried out this research in parallel with the Professional Records Standards Body (PRSB) who examined the wider brief of 'referrals from NHS 111 to any other care setting'.

We worked alongside PRSB to ensure data transferred from 111 to ED is clinically relevant and safe. PRSB have defined and endorsed an information model which works for both the senders (111) and receivers (ED) when referrals are made between the respective services. This endorsement provides the necessary confidence that solutions built to the standard will be both fit for purpose and safe.

The GP to Pharmacy CPCS (Community Pharmacist Consultation Service) Minor Illness referral information data model is informed by user research with pharmacy service providers. We have engaged with NHS England (NHSE) Policy teams to establish the service information requirements. The data model is based on the Community Pharmacy Standard v3.0 as defined and endorsed by the Professional Records Standards Body (PRSB). The referral information has been validated by the NHSE Pharmacy Clinical Reference Group.
