Important: Migration of NHS website syndication APIs

We are migrating the NHS website syndication APIs to the NHS Developer and integration hub.

The combined NHS Website Content API v2 (including the Health A to Z (conditions), Medicines A to Z, Mental health, Live Well, Pregnancy and NHS services) is now available on the hub. If you currently use any of these APIs, you need to migrate to the new Content API. Please use our migration guide and migration assistant to help you through the migration process.

The Service Search and Ratings and Reviews APIs will be migrated in future and we will send updates when this happens.

We have created a list of frequently asked questions about the migration of the NHS website syndication APIs.
