Clinical systems and dispensing
NHS Digital Medicine FHIR integration for pharmacies
What this integration does
- Builds FHIR UK Core R4 resources for medication and dispense events.
- Uses dm+d codes so products are identified consistently.
- Posts dispense notifications from the dispensing event in Sync-RX.
- Keeps the request and response for audit.
Who it is for
Pharmacies and clinics that need structured, standards-based medicines data rather than PDFs.
How it works
- Enable the connection and supply your organisation identifiers.
- Map your products to dm+d.
- Dispense events generate and post the FHIR resources.
What you need
NHS endpoint access, organisation identifiers and dm+d mapping for your catalogue.
FAQ
What standard is used?
FHIR UK Core R4, with dm+d for medicine identification.
Do we have to map every product?
Any product you want reported in structured form needs a dm+d mapping.
Is this the same as GP Connect?
No. GP Connect writes to the GP record; this posts structured medicines events.
Is the traffic auditable?
Yes, requests and responses are retained.
