Topic: ukcore vs CareConnect?

Hello, looking for a bit of guidance for working with NHS - I've found two IGs that might be relevant,
https://build.fhir.org/ig/INTEROPen/careconnect-base-stu3/index.html
and
https://fhir.nhs.uk/
Nick George (Nov 01 2021 at 20:29):
is there a relationship between these?
Nick George (Nov 01 2021 at 20:32):
and are they available as a single download with all resources somewhere?
Rik Smithies (Nov 01 2021 at 23:10):
hi Nick
The first one is CareConnect, a set of STU3 profiles that are being superseded by this https://simplifier.net/hl7fhirukcorer4
The second I think is a browser for all a wider set of NHS profiled resources, that incudes CareConnect but other projects as well (e.g. GPConnect, eRS, NRLS etc)
Do you have a specific goal or project in mind?
Kevin Mayfield (Nov 02 2021 at 10:09):
Yes, they are related. The former was some modifications to allow validation using HL7 Validator.
They are both superseeded by the link @Rik Smithies posted.
They are all based on the old version of FHIR STU3. If you are developing new I would suggest you use this guide

This is the R4 version

@Nick George the current version of the CareConnect profiles being maintained are available in package form to download here https://simplifier.net/guide/hl7fhircareconnectprofilesstu3-inprogress/Home/Downloads.guide.md the profiles are utilised in a number of NHS Digital implementation guides
Ben McAlister (Nov 02 2021 at 16:55):
Details of NHS Digital STU3 Implementation Guides, most of which derive profiles from base/core CareConnect profiles, can be found here https://digital.nhs.uk/developer/api-catalogue?filter=fhir&filter=stu3 R4 based, UK Core derived, NHS Digital Implementation Guides in development can be found here https://simplifier.net/organization/nhsdigital/~guides

Thanks a lot everyone!

Is there anyway to get a version of https://simplifier.net/hl7fhirukcorer4 that specifies snapshot as well as differentials in profiles? All of our tooling is designed to work on snapshots. If not, I can just write a conversion layer that computes the differentials
Kevin Mayfield (Nov 04 2021 at 03:54):
Thats a question for firel.ly, you could ask the question on #IG creation stream.
Code exists in the HAPI FHIR libraries to generate snapshots, an example of this is here
