NHS Digital have now deployed their live FHIR API for Organisational Reference Data (ODS Data). The API is available openly on the internet and is free to use. The FHIR endpoint is at https://directory.spineservices.nhs.uk/STU3/ the implementation guide at https://developer.nhs.uk/apis/ods
For those in England/Wales then the use of ODS codes will be commonplace. To retrieve the ODS number for a specific organization this can be achieved via using the ods code directly (e.g. https://directory.spineservices.nhs.uk/STU3/Organization/5KJ10 ) other queries are possible and are described in the guide.
Examples:
Query by a specific ODS Code (A81001in this case)
https://directory.spineservices.nhs.uk/STU3/Organization/A81001
Query by a town
https://directory.spineservices.nhs.uk/STU3/Organization?address-city=knaresborough
Query by a postcode
https://directory.spineservices.nhs.uk/STU3/Organization?address-postalcode=HG5%200JY
Query by organisation role (GP in this case)
https://directory.spineservices.nhs.uk/STU3/Organization?ods-org-role=76
Organisation Roles are available via the API
