Basic PDS data for account creation

Personal Demographics Service (PDS) Personal Demographics Service FHIR API

Good afternoon,
I am trying to gain access to PDS data to allow registration/account creation for a website providing a NHS service.
The data that I would need to sync for account creation is:

Name
DOB
Address
Phone number
Email address
GP surgery
NHS Number

Is anyone able to advise which API would allow me access to such information (a little confused as there are a number of different API’s, including some that are in production, that seem to have the same functionality?).

Kind regards

Muhammad

Hi Muhammad,

PDS FHIR API is the one you are after.

Hi David,

Thank you for your reply.

I will look into this now.

I would strongly suggest you look at NHS login for identifying patients and authentication. It will allow many more capabilities for APIs (using Patient Access Mode) than a non-authenticated app-restricted trace where you can trace based on user provided information, but you cannot display anything back to the user (e.g. NHS number)
