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:
We also request that UK stakeholders copy:
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.
