August 2025: Delivered data-model and migration pipeline enhancements for triage codes, including a new TriageCode entity, legacy data extraction and transformations, and DynamoDB persistence. Refined disposition handling to attribute sources correctly by defaulting dispositions to PATHWAYS when built from dispositions, with updates to related configurations and utilities. These changes improve data integrity, enable smoother legacy data migration, and support more accurate downstream analytics and reporting.

Month: 2025-05. This period focused on delivering a new Healthcare Service API for NHSDigital/ftrs-directory-of-services, including routing, request handling, and data access logic to manage healthcare service resources. The work also involved updating the project’s make/build configuration to integrate the new service and its dependencies (Makefile and pyproject.toml). No major bug fixes were recorded for this scope; the emphasis was on feature delivery and API surface expansion. The new API lays the groundwork for consistent service catalog management and enables downstream consumers to interact with healthcare service resources programmatically. The work advances the team’s API-first approach and improves deployment and maintainability through consolidated packaging and tooling changes.
