Overview
When submitting care navigation requests, you must use NHS login or demographics to authenticate. These details are then checked against PDS (the Spine). To properly test the flow with a test patient, you will need to contact NHS Digital.
Requesting a Dummy Patient
To obtain a test patient, you need to apply for a dummy patient through NHS Digital. Follow these steps:
Email NHS Digital: Send a request to testdata@nhs.net specifying your need for a test patient linked to the Spine.
Provide Relevant Details: Include information about your system, the purpose of the test, and any other requirements specified by NHS Digital.
Wait for Approval: NHS Digital will review your request and provide you with a test patient if approved.
Additional Information
