Background
The GP Connect capabilities support the development of products that enable different systems to communicate so that clinicians in different care settings can:
- view a patient’s GP practice record with Access Record: HTML
- manage GP appointments with Appointment Management
- import or download Patient data with Access Record: Structured
- send a consultation update back to the GP Practice System with GP Connect Messaging Send Document
The GP Connect Messaging Send Document capability provides a simple and standardised means of sending and receiving a document containing a consultation update to a GP Practice system, helping to ‘close the loop’ and provide latest information to the patient’s registered GP.

To understand the full scope of changes made since a given specification you should read all the subsequent release notes.
Full Specification
The GP Connect Messaging specification describes the messaging approach being taken by GP Connect for record update scenarios. These will need implementing alongside the Generic FHIR Receiver component requirements.
