PROFILE
Steve Buxton
Steve Buxton enhanced the NHSDigital/e-referrals-service-api by evolving the Attachment API for the STU3 standard, focusing on deprecating the Retrieve Attachment endpoint and introducing a more robust alternative. He implemented strict UUID validation and improved error handling in the getAttachment functionality, ensuring reliable responses and reducing erroneous behavior. Using JavaScript, Python, and YAML, Steve expanded the API’s schema to include new attachment attributes and metadata such as status and origin, improving data context and migration readiness. He also updated the OpenAPI specification and expanded test coverage, resulting in a more reliable and integration-friendly backend service for clients.
