Hi all,

Getting back into programming and tinkering again with a focus on health stuff. 

Does anyone know of a collection of realistic dummy set of primary or secondary care records (or a library/application that will generate them) that folks can use to develop things with some clinically realistic data? UK would be preferable but any set in English would be fine (e.g. US, NZ, AUS, etc.)

Have a look at synthea https://synthea.mitre.org/

It is US focused and so the generated data follows US population models.

Also worth looking at is [Intersystems FHIR Repository Dev Environment](https://openexchange.intersystems.com/package/iris-fhir-template)

This is a server which loads in synthea data and so gives you a ready made backend
