Strategy

The PDS FHIR API is our strategic API for accessing PDS. To see our roadmap for it, or to suggest, comment or vote on features, see our interactive product backlog.

The PDS SMSP API is already deprecated and is due to be retired.

The PDS HL7 V3 will be deprecated once the PDS FHIR API provides the same capabilities. We don't currently have a fixed date for this.

Roadmap

The PDS roadmap outlines the high-level objectives and projects we are researching or planning to deliver in the coming months.

The roadmap was last reviewed by the team in November 2024.
