Seeding the RCPCH NHS Organisations service

Seeding the database happens on initial migration (002_seed_abstraction_levels). This creates models for:

• London Boroughs
• Integrated Care Boards
• NHS England Regions
• Countries

Each one of these is associated with GIS shapes data loaded in from .csv in the shape_files folder. This goes through a LayerMapping step beforehand. Countries included are England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Jersey.

Subsequent seeding happens then from the command line and adds:

• Organisations
• Trusts
• Local Health Boards (Wales)
• Paediatric Diabetes Units
• OPENUK Networks

To run this after initial migration therefore from the command line within the docker instance it is necessary to:

python manage.py seed --level all

If only individual models need seeding the --model attribute accepts these parameters: abstraction_levels (this adds ODS codes to the existing ICBs, London Boroughs, NHS England regions, as well as ONS GSS codes to the Countries) trusts organisations pdus all - Adds all the above as well as Jersey General Hosptial
