Responses from the A004 endpoint

e-Referral Service (e-RS)

We’re planning on getting the response from the A004 endpoint (GET {eReferrals_url}/STU3/CodeSystem/CLINIC-TYPE - specifically).

Can we get some guidance on how frequently the responses from the A004 endpoints will change?

Hi @richard.neal - Specialty and clinic types change frequently, see news item here:

You can cache this data but we ask suppliers to check for updates each week (at a minimum), just in case this falls between a release cycle.
