Background:

XML Schemas and Release Notes can be downloaded from the Technology Reference Data Update Distribution Service (TRUD).

In order to access the XML Schemas and Release Notes on the Technology Reference Data Update Distribution Service (TRUD), users will be required to:

• Create a TRUD account at: TRUD Welcome to the Technology Reference data Update Distribution site (if an account does not currently exist. This only has to be done once to access any XML Schema)
• Log into TRUD at: TRUD Log in
• Access NHS Data Model and Dictionary: DD XML Schemas and subscribe to the XML Schema to be downloaded
• Accept the licence and request the subscription (an email will be sent immediately to confirm that the request has been accepted and the files can be downloaded, which avoids any delays)
• Once the "Subscription accepted" email has been received, download the zip file from NHS Data Model and Dictionary: DD XML Schemas.

Once an XML Schema has been added to TRUD, users who have subscribed to that item will be automatically notified by email of any updates to that area, for example, new versions, retirements etc.
