Roadmap

The PDM roadmap outlines the high-level objectives and projects we are planning to deliver in the coming months.

The roadmap was last reviewed by the team in June 2025.

Now
  • Transactional use cases can store and retrieve publicly specified, re-usable FHIR resources from a centrally-managed and secure data store
  • PDM in private beta with Healthchecks Online 
  • PDM users benefit from a centralised audit capability to support Subject Access Requests 
Next
  • The Digital Letters team can store and retrieve unstructured data and clinical documents
  • Application developers benefit from simplified IG with centralised data retention and governance
  • Non-transactional use cases can store and retrieve publicly specified re-usable FHIR resources from a centrally managed secure data store
  • PDM Data consumers can subscribe to real-time events using the Multicast Notification Service (MNS)
Later
  • Any use case meeting the specification, can self-onboard to store and retrieve publicly specified, re-usable FHIR resources from a centrally-managed and secure data store
  • Data publishers can benefit from automatic validation against UK core standard
  • Internal product teams can benefit from a bulk-ingest and transform pipeline using MESH
