Uplifting SCCI0052: Dictionary of medicines and devices (dm+d)
As part of the UK Medicines Terminology Futures work, we are seeking feedback from those who use or manage dm+d data, to understand the impacts of uplifting SCCI0052 dm+d.
The scope for uplifting the standard is:
- dm+d historical codes (already live)
- ingredients for VTMs (expected in dm+d: Quarter 3 2024)
- Trade Family and Trade Family Group (expected in dm+d: 2025)
- removal of the 'interesting' excipient field (data has not been in the dm+d extract since October 2022)
The purpose of uplifting SCCI0052 is to reflect these changes as part of the core dm+d data model and be reflected in the core dm+d extract, rather than as supplementary files.
We've produced a short survey to assess the impact on users and the resultant change to the core dm+d files and download. Please submit responses by 5pm on Friday 16 August 2024.
A sample test file, nhsbsa_dmd_5.1.0_20240513000001.Future.zip (ZIP, 16MB), is available which reflects the proposed changes. This file is not official dm+d data and is for test purposes only.
If you have any issues completing the survey or would like to discuss this work further, email nhsdigital.ukmeds@nhs.net.
