Feature updates

1. FHIR registration endpoint - expanded national identifier support

The FHIR registration endpoint now supports any national identifier type from our list of supported national identifiers. Previously, this endpoint only accepted NHS numbers.

2. FHIR searching - UK national identifier support

FHIR API searching now supports any national identifier type from our list of supported national identifiers. Previously only NHS numbers were supported.
We additionally also support using non-national identifiers in FHIR searches.

3. Skype ID field removed

The Skype ID has been removed from the following locations:

• Profile page for all users

• Colleagues page for Professionals

• Registration page in all registration pathways

4. Advanced questionnaires - support for ‘additionalidentifier’ parameter

The $send-questionnaire-request operation now supports the ‘additionalIdentifier’ parameter, which organisations will use to send local identifiers when sending questionnaires. The value provided in the additionalIdentifier parameter is added as an identifier to the ServiceRequest that is generated when the questionnaire is sent. When the QuestionnaireResponse endpoint supports search parameters, this additionalIdentifier can be used to search for a QuestionnaireResponse.
