GP Connect

GP Connect is a national NHS England interoperability programme that enables authorised clinical and patient-facing systems to securely access and update patient records held in GP principal clinical systems (EMIS Web, SystmOne, Vision). The programme exposes a suite of FHIR-based REST APIs spanning structured clinical record access (medications, allergies, immunisations, consultations, problems, investigations), unstructured document retrieval, appointment management, document sending, record updating, and patient-facing services for patients to view their own records, manage repeat prescriptions, and book appointments via the NHS App. Clinical system APIs are mediated through the Spine Security Proxy (SSP) over HSCN; patient-facing APIs use NHS login OpenID Connect at P9 identity verification. Access requires NHS England onboarding, an approved clinical use case, information governance compliance, and a clinical safety officer holding DCB0129 and DCB0160 certification. The service is funded by NHS England at no direct API cost to consuming organisations.

GP Connect publishes 7 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Appointment API, Documents API, FHIR API, and 4 more. Tagged areas include NHS, FHIR, Healthcare, GP Records, and Appointments.

The GP Connect catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context.

GP Connect’s developer surface includes developer portal, documentation, signup flow, authentication, getting-started guide, GitHub presence, sandbox, and 13 more developer resources.

scored 2026-09-08 · rubric v0.20.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/gp-connect: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
