Share your views in the dm+d annual user survey
NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) and NHS England are running the first annual user survey for the dictionary of medicines and devices (dm+d). They want to hear from people and organisations who use dm+d.
Your feedback will shape future dm+d services and content by showing:
- how and where dm+d is used across organisations and systems
- what dm+d users need and prioritise
- where dm+d content, guidance and support need to improve
If you give your role, organisation or email address, it will only be used to understand who is responding, clarify your answers and, where appropriate, contact you about future engagement. Your information will not be shared outside the survey team, and all reporting will be anonymised.
The deadline for responses is Friday 2 October 2026. The survey takes about 5 to 10 minutes.
Complete the dm+d annual user survey
If you have problems completing the survey or want to discuss it further, email support.digitalservices@nhs.net.
