## Digital Health Rewired HACK DAYS
Hi OHHers - I’m running a 2-day hack next year, alongside the Digital Health Rewired event. If it’s anything like the Digital Health Summer School hackathon we ran earlier in 2018 it’ll be a great 2 days of collaboration, learning, and building tech.
Part of the event will be a ‘traditional’ hackathon event, starting with idea pitches and then hacking on ideas, building ‘proof of concept’ prototypes, and experimenting with new technologies and concepts.
Around this I will have a number of demonstration slots going on, something like a workshop or tutorial on particular healthcare technologies - with small groups (4-6) and hands-on learning (ie writing code on your laptop, not powerpoint and theory) - I’ve decided to call them ‘Hackshops’ - where you can learn a new skill such as integrating with a FHIR server, or building an NHS user interface…
Here’s a list of some of the hackshop contributions we’re expecting at the 2019 hackathon.
- [NHS.UK](http://NHS.UK)’s Frontend team - demoing their [new front end framework](https://github.com/nhsuk/nhsuk-frontend) for making accessible, well-tested NHS websites
- the openEHR Foundation - with a simple tutorial on how to interact with an openEHR repository like [EtherCIS](http://ethercis.org), through its REST API
- NHS Digital’s GP Connect team - demoing their API for [obtaining patient GP records](https://nhsconnect.github.io/gpconnect/) from consumer systems
- The Ripple Foundation - with their JavaScript-based [Ripple showcase stack](http://docs-showcase.ripple.foundation/) for building interoperable and standards-based EHRs and PHRs, already in use for the Helm PHR.
- The NHS Spine team - with an open-access Spine test environment for learning to integrate with the basic NHS Spine services
> We’re hoping to add more demos and hackshops here, and if you would like to run a hackshop then please PM me @pacharanero and we can arrange it.
> [_We can’t guarantee you would be able to get around all the available hackshops - there might be limits on how many people can attend any given hackshop. It’ll be first come first served on the day, and a ‘teach-each-other’ ethos. Share the knowledge! 🙂_]
**Date** : March 25th-26th 2019
**Venues** : [Novotel London West](https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Hotel+Novotel+London+West/@51.4920396,-0.2198412,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x1db48e81f883e9!8m2!3d51.4920396!4d-0.2198412) (moving across to the main venue at Olympia for the hackday presentations)

Any plans for outside London? London has a cost attached to it (it’s cheaper to get to Amsterdam than London 🙂 ).
I’ll see what I can do though.

Yes, there will also be another Summer School Hack Day at the Digital Health Summer School, which this year is being held in Leeds.

Ugh, don’t I know it. Managed to throw my return ticket in the bin at Green Park yesterday with my breakfast bag… that’s £164 I won’t see again 😢

(Not an official response but expect it to be present at the hackathon)
The [CareConnect API](https://nhsconnect.github.io/CareConnectAPI/explore.html#3-resource-apis) - a proposed standard API for accessing clinical data in systems across the NHS (less GP - see GP Connect earlier)
This is available in dockerised form which provides a EPR and document database, all accessible via the REST API. So if you want to just concentrate on user interface and use a standard method for accessing data (from a 3rd party EPR or an off the shelf FHIR server), the updated instructions are here: [CCRI | Installation instructions | Care Connect](https://nhsconnect.github.io/CareConnectAPI/build_ri_install.html)
Some of the hacks done at the last INTEROPen (using CareConnect + GP Connect) are described here: [Care Connect FHIR – Medium](https://medium.com/care-connect-fhir)

Sounds great Kev. Would you fancy doing a [Hackshop](https://www.openhealthhub.org/t/what-is-a-hackshop/1982) on CareConnect?

Can’t make that call but we did hackshops at the NHS Connectathon a year ago. We had an area dedicated to CareConnect where people could come and ask question and also put on a couple of presentations - it was very popular.

Hi there, I’m a developer and have just registered for the Rewired Hack Day event. I worked on the Spine 2 project up until just after it went live but since then I’ve been out of the health IT space working in other areas. Am I right in thinking that I can rock up to the Hack Day and join in with a team without bringing along a pitch?

Yep, you would be fine to come along and join a team.
