We have developed an NRL demonstrator application to quickly explain basic NRL functionality.
You should carry out initial development and local testing against our TKW testbench.
NRL is available in Opentest for early development and testing.
NRL is also available for testing purposes in:
- development (DEV)
- integration (INT)
The NRL base URLs are as follows:

The base URL for the provider and consumer interactions are the same, but the interaction is based on the path and HTTP verb used, for example:
- provide a pointer in integration over HSCN:
POST https://msg.int.spine2.ncrs.nhs.uk/STU3/DocumentReference
- consume pointers in integration over HSCN:
GET https://msg.int.spine2.ncrs.nhs.uk/STU3/DocumentReference
- provide a pointer in integration over the internet:
POST https://msg.intspineservices.nhs.uk/STU3/DocumentReference
- consume a pointer in integration over the internet:
GET https://msg.intspineservices.nhs.uk/STU3/DocumentReference/da2b6e8a-3c8f-11e8-baae-6c3be5a609f5-584d385036514c383142

In addition, our reference implementation allows you to send requests and view responses with test data through a clone of the NRL API, without needing to worry about access to testing environments.
