## Post #1 by @mayfield.g.kev

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
- Royal College of Radiologists 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 https://nw-gmsa.github.io/hl7v2.html#oru_r01-unsolicited-transmission-of-an-observation-message
- HL7 FHIR 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.
