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 11 more developer resources.
