2. NHS login in Wales
Users registered with a GP practice in Wales will temporarily be unable to use NHS login to register or log-in to PKB. Users can continue to log in with their PKB username and password and users can continue to register via all other methods (email invitation / token registration).
Technical improvements
1. Data version control
We have started a process of formalising our versioning strategy to ensure the most recently received value is considered to be the most recent version. Data sent in HL7 messages will have their entered timestamps populated from MSH-7. The entered timestamp will not be used to determine the latest version of a data point, the time when the data was saved in our database will be used for this.
