Cloud-Native Development for HealthTech — UK Specifics
NHS Data Residency Requirements for Cloud
NHS DSP Toolkit Standard 7: personal data and special category health data must be processed within the UK or EEA. For cloud-native NHS applications: AWS eu-west-2 (London) or Azure UK South (London) are the correct primary regions. Never use US regions for NHS patient data — even AWS us-east-1 is non-compliant for DSP Toolkit Standard 7. CloudFront CDN: disable caching for any response containing patient personal data.
NHS FHIR R4 on Cloud-Native Architecture
FHIR R4 APIs for NHS: HAPI FHIR Server as the recommended open-source FHIR server for NHS applications (well-supported, UK Core FHIR profiles available). Deployment: HAPI FHIR as a containerised service on ECS Fargate or EKS, PostgreSQL as the FHIR data store, API Gateway for rate limiting and authentication. NHS Login OIDC integration for patient-facing FHIR applications.
Cyber Essentials Plus for NHS Cloud
NHS DSP Toolkit Standard 10 requires Cyber Essentials Plus for NHS digital services accessing patient data. CE+ for cloud-native: AWS Security Hub (automated security standards compliance), GuardDuty (threat detection), Config (configuration compliance), and Inspector (vulnerability scanning). Evidence pack: ClickMasters produces CE+ technical evidence documentation for NHS client DSP Toolkit submissions.
NHS Spine Connectivity on Cloud
NHS Spine connectivity (Smartcard authentication, PDS, GP Connect, eRS) requires NHS N3/HSCN network access. Cloud-native options: AWS VPN with HSCN connectivity, dedicated HSCN connection to AWS Direct Connect, or NHS-approved intermediaries (HealthCare Gateway, Nhs.net Digital Technology Partners). All NHS Spine API calls must originate from UK-registered IP addresses.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about healthtech software development.
What cloud platform should NHS HealthTech use — AWS or Azure?
For NHS HealthTech: Azure UK South has NHS Landing Zone (recommended configuration for NHS) and native Microsoft 365 integration (NHS uses Microsoft Teams/O365). AWS eu-west-2 is also NHS DSP Toolkit compliant. Both satisfy UK data residency. ClickMasters recommendation: Azure for NHS applications needing Microsoft 365 integration (Teams, SharePoint, Azure AD); AWS for standalone NHS applications or those needing more mature managed services.
How do we get NHS HSCN connectivity for cloud-native apps?
HSCN (Health and Social Care Network) is the NHS network. Cloud-native access options: AWS Direct Connect to an HSCN-connected colocation facility, or using an approved HSCN Access Provider. The key requirement is that NHS Spine API calls (PDS, GP Connect, Smartcard authentication) originate from HSCN-connected IP addresses. ClickMasters works with NHS-approved HSCN connectivity providers.
