Profiles
The key FHIR profiles that are referenced by this implementation guide are listed below. Each profile is documented using the format described in Profile Descriptions.
Most of the profiles are derived from the UK Core Implementation Guide (STU3 Sequence). The profile descriptions and additional guidance described in this implementation guide (i.e. the Pathology FHIR Implementation Guide) must be read in conjunction with the UK Core Implementation Guide.

The following FHIR resources are also referenced by this implementation guide but do not have corresponding UK Core profiles. Please refer to the descriptions of the resources in the base FHIR R4 Specification for further details:
Refer to How to Construct Bundles for a description of how the profiles and resources may be used to form FHIR Bundles for test reporting.
Refer to the Design Overview section for supporting information, including a description of the Pathology FHIR data model and the design approach that has been adopted as part of this implementation guide.
