Is anyone aware of any England national standards (excluding those for GPs which don’t really cover the core for other care settings).

The ones I can find are

- Wales DHCW [https://nw-gmsa.github.io/DHCW-HL7-v2-5-1-ORUR01-Specification.pdf](https://nw-gmsa.github.io/DHCW-HL7-v2-5-1-ORUR01-Specification.pdf)
- Royal College of Radiologists [https://www.rcr.ac.uk/media/wwtp2mif/rcr-publications\_radiology-reporting-networks-understanding-the-technical-options\_march-2022.pdf](https://www.rcr.ac.uk/media/wwtp2mif/rcr-publications_radiology-reporting-networks-understanding-the-technical-options_march-2022.pdf)

At present I think both of these are correct and I’ve combined them here

- HL7 v2 [HL7 v2 Artefacts - NHS North West Genomics v0.0.9](https://nw-gmsa.github.io/hl7v2.html#oru_r01-unsolicited-transmission-of-an-observation-message)
- HL7 FHIR [Diagnostic Report - NHS North West Genomics v0.0.9](https://nw-gmsa.github.io/StructureDefinition-DiagnosticReport.html)

p.s. I am working on Genomics - This part is fine whether it is FHIR, v2 or openEHR.
