NHS Service Search

Search for NHS healthcare services across England including GPs, pharmacies, dentists, opticians, hospitals, and urgent care centres.

Data Model

  • Organisation — An NHS service (GP surgery, pharmacy, hospital, etc.) with fields: OrganisationName, OrganisationTypeId, OrganisationId (ODS code), Address1-3, City, County, Postcode, Phone, Email, Website, Latitude, Longitude, OpeningTimes, Services, LastUpdatedDate.
  • Organisation TypesGPB (GP), PHA (Pharmacy), DEN (Dentist), OPT (Optician), HOS (Hospital), TRU (Trust), CLI (Clinic), IND (Independent Hospital), SCL (Social Care Location).
  • Services — Nested list of services offered by each organisation (e.g., prescriptions, flu vaccinations, blood pressure checks).
  • Opening Times — Structured weekday/weekend hours with special session types.

Key Patterns

  • Combine organisation type, location, and free-text criteria; expressions can join multiple conditions (e.g. GP-only plus place).
  • Full-text style search runs across names and addresses; postcode- or place-based flows resolve a location first, then nearby services.
  • Relevance scores and optional total counts appear when the tools request them.
  • Page through results in small chunks (catalog caps page size).

Gotchas

  • England only: NHS Service Search covers England.
  • ODS codes: OrganisationId is the ODS (Organisation Data Service) code—the standard identifier for healthcare organisations.
  • Search variants: Geocoded search tools may take filters in a different shape than plain list/search—follow each tool’s parameters.
