SNOMED International proposal to increase description length limits

This is an update to the post on Delen in January 2025 about a proposal from SNOMED International. The proposal is to increase the maximum length of Fully Specified Name (FSN) and Synonym descriptions from 255 to 4,096 characters.

SNOMED International has published more details about the proposal. You can read these in their PDF document: March 2025 date approval MF BN 20250326 v1.00.pdf.

They've also written a blog post, which is available on the SNOMED International website.

This change will affect UK users who use content from the Medicinal Product Hierarchy in either the SNOMED CT International Edition or the SNOMED CT UK Edition.

It will also affect FSNs created in the SNOMED CT UK Drug Extension.

The proposal will not affect Preferred Terms (PTs) in the SNOMED CT UK Drug Extension or the NHS Dictionary of Medicines and Devices (dm+d). We're not planning any changes to the dm+d as a result of this proposal.

SNOMED International has postponed the proposed implementation date to July 2026. This gives users more time to prepare. The change will take effect in the October 2026 UK release.

If you need more time to prepare or have questions, email information.standards@nhs.net by 29 April 2025.

We want your views on changes to the SNOMED CT UK Drug Extension model

As part of the UK Medicines Terminology Futures work, we're planning to update the SNOMED CT UK Drug Extension model to align with the SNOMED International model for national drug extensions.

If you use the SNOMED CT UK Drug Extension, we'd like to hear from you.

Your feedback will help us understand:

  • the potential impact of the proposed changes
  • how much time users may need to prepare
  • how we can work together to support the transition

You can find more details on the Updating the SNOMED CT UK Drug Extension Model page.

Please complete our short survey by 5pm on Tuesday 22 April 2025.

Take the survey

If you have any problems with the survey or want to discuss this work, email us at nhsdigital.ukmeds@nhs.net.

Share your views on SNOMED International's proposal to increase description lengths

We want to update you on SNOMED International's proposal to increase the maximum length of Fully Specified Name (FSN) and Synonym descriptions from 255 to 4,096 characters. More information about this proposal is available in the Delen news article.

The change will affect UK users of content from SNOMED International’s Medicinal Product Hierarchy, whether taken from the SNOMED CT International Edition or the SNOMED CT UK Edition. However, it will not affect the NHS dictionary of medicines and devices (dm+d), and we do not plan to make any dm+d changes in response to this proposal.

We are reviewing how this change might affect FSNs in the SNOMED CT UK Drug Extension, but we do not expect it to affect Preferred Terms (PTs) in the UK Drug Extension.

SNOMED International currently plan to implement this change in January 2026, with it taking effect in April 2026 UK releases.

If UK stakeholders need more time to implement this change or have any questions or concerns, contact SNOMED International directly at:

release@snomed.org

We also request that UK stakeholders copy:

information.standards@nhs.net

so NHS England can stay informed of any feedback.

Share your views on the dm+d and SNOMED CT UK Drug Extension release cycles

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.

Proposed changes to the NICIP-OPCS-4 mapping table

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.
