Upcoming Events
HL7 New Zealand & HL7 Australia are hosting a Connectathon on 27-28 April 2022. There will be streams focusing on terminology services, which are a great opportunity for software developers to learn more about HL7 FHIR and national infrastructure supporting terminology, and start developing or testing out your current FHIR developments. Register here for this free event and contact https://hl7.com.au for more information.
Where can I find technical guides and other resources?
All SNOMED CT AU and AMT documentation, including technical and implementation guides, is freely available for download from the NCTS Document Library without registering or logging in. However, if you are a registered user we recommend that you log in before downloading any material so that we can better target our communications to you, based on the resources that you have downloaded.
