FYI 

The Care Connect RESTful APIs within this site have been developed collaboratively by NHS Digital and the INTEROPen community. These APIs aim to better support the delivery of care by opening up information and data held across different clinical care settings through the use of nationally defined INTEROPen FHIR® resources.

The INTEROPen vision is to create a library of nationally defined HL7® FHIR® resources and interaction patterns that implementers can adopt to simplify integration and interoperability within UK health and social care.

(Note: API has links to Profiles but these are may generate a warning as they are on a temporary site.)

Find out more on the INTEROPen website .

Latest version is 1.1.0-alpha.0 

A webex overview of phase 1 is available here https://contattafiles.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/tnt373/mlxxu5nNLjtC05F/CareConnect%20Phase%201%20Update-20170712%200958-1%20%281%29.mp4

The public HAPI server does allow exploration of the CareConnectAPI (http://fhirtest.uhn.ca/home?serverId=hapi_dev&pretty=true) 

It currently has some CareConnect examples (they may not be present after refresh though), e.g. http://fhirtest.uhn.ca/baseDstu2/Patient?identifier=https%3A%2F%2Ffhir.nhs.uk%2FId%2Fnhs-number%7C9876543210 to search on patient and then to search for Observations http://fhirtest.uhn.ca/baseDstu2/Observation?patient=32898

If you have a look at HAPI demo server, the Patient with NHS Number of 1234567890 also has a number of clinical entries.
