What this aligns with
Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014
The statutory framework for care and support, carers' support, and safeguarding. Every profile maps back to a specific Part or section of the Act.
NHS Wales and DHCW standards
Aligned with HL7 FHIR R4 profiles used by NHS Wales and Digital Health and Care Wales, so data flows across health and care without translation layers.
Welsh Language Standards
Bilingual by default. Data element names and definitions carry Cymraeg alongside English where translations are available.
