PDS API allows a Patient search by postcode using the parameter address-postcode.

FHIR R4 has an existing search parameter address-postalcode.

Why does PDS API use a different parameter to search on this property?

Hi Dunmail!

Thanks for your query!
We’re looking into this and will get back to you as soon as we have something.

Thank you for your patience while we investigate.

As far as I’ve been able to ascertain, an oversight.

I’ve raised a ticket to add support for address-postalcode and update the documentation

Thanks!

Is there a way to track the ticket so that we know if/when it has been resolved?

I don’t believe there’s a way to track our internal tickets, but I’ll add a note to it to send an update here when it’s been resolved, however that may be.

NHS API Management team let me know that this fault has been added to the backlog as ticket SPINEDEM-1014 but it’s not expected to be resolved in the immediate future.
