SMS developer requirements
As described in the NHS Digital compliance process, if a supplier does not already have a conformant product (client), technical conformance approval must be obtained. This begins with developing the client in line with the necessary requirements (including specifications) and policies.
The main resource for development is the downloadable requirements pack, containing functional requirements, policies and guidance relevant to the technical build of SMS clients accessing the web service APIs .
SMSP Reference Implementation (Java)
The ITK API provides a Java abstraction to the ITK transport and distribution mechanics. As such it aims to simplify the task of exchanging ITK based messages between applications whilst maintaining all of the benefits that the ITK “on the wire” specifications bring.
The following reference implementation (a client accessing Spine Mini Services for PDS) provides a set of examples scenarios that show how the API can be realised and used in real world uses. One such reference implementation is a client accessing spine mini services for demographics.
