NHS England Digital is the national provider of digital health technology for the NHS in England. It delivers a comprehensive suite of REST and FHIR APIs covering patient demographic services, personal demographics, electronic prescriptions, summary care records, referrals and bookings, GP Connect, vaccination records, and national clinical data services. APIs are hosted on the NHS API platform at api.service.nhs.uk with sandbox and production environments, supporting OAuth 2.0 / private-key JWT, NHS CIS2 Care Identity, NHS login, and API-key authentication patterns.
NHS Digital publishes 8 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Booking API, communication API, Message API, and 5 more. Tagged areas include NHS, Health, FHIR, UK, and Patient Demographics.
The NHS Digital catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context.
NHS Digital’s developer surface includes authentication, getting-started guide, sandbox, GitHub presence, and 15 more developer resources.
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/nhs-digital: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
