As part of the UK Medicines Terminology Futures work, NHS England is seeking views from users of the dm+d and SNOMED CT UK Drug Extension, to understand preferences for release timings of these terminologies, and potential impacts if timings were changed.
We're seeking views about release timings to ensure the NHS is meeting user needs, that terminology information is cascaded at times that align with other dependencies, and to reduce burden where possible.
This is an opportunity to highlight your preferences and does not mean release timings will change. If any release timings are to change, further impact analysis will take place to assess implementation options. Any change would not take place until at least summer 2025.
Supporting information about this work can be found on the Survey: dm+d and SNOMED CT UK Drug Extension release cycles page.
Complete the dm+d and SNOMED CT UK Drug Extension release cycle survey by 5pm Friday 6 December 2024. We value your insights and feedback.
If you have any issues completing the survey or would like to discuss this work further, contact nhsdigital.ukmeds@nhs.net.

SNOMED International included 2 descriptions in the April 2024 release which were longer than 255 characters. The May 2024 release shortened these descriptions to within the current 255-character limit.
