Notice of exceptional changes to 2019 release schedule for the UK Edition of SNOMED CT
The release schedule for the following SNOMED CT products will change from the normal schedule for 2019:
SNOMED CT UK Data Migration Workbench
SNOMED CT UK Query Table and History Substitution Table
The NHS Digital Terminology and Classifications Service is carrying out a significant upgrade of its SNOMED CT and dm+d content management platform. As a consequence, the scheduled 1st April 2019 releases of all products listed above will be deferred to June 1st 2019, and the closing date for submission of content change requests during this cycle brought forward from 30th December 2018 to 21 st December 2018. The scheduled 1st October 2019 releases are planned to occur as usual.
In addition to these changes to submission request and next release timings, the semantic content of the 1st June 2019 releases of these products will also differ from usual in two significant ways:
Cut-off dates for authoring are absolute: content change requests for the 1st June 2019 release will be excluded from that release if submitted after 21st December 2019. We will aim to achieve full 'catch up' of any residual content requests by the 1st October 2019 release.
The regular 4-weekly releases of the UK SNOMED CT Drug Extension will continue throughout 2019. However, the rescheduled 1 st June 2019 release of the UK SNOMED CT Clinical Extension will not also be accompanied by the normal co-release of a Drug Extension release fully re-aligned with both the 31st January 2019 International Edition and the 1st June 2019 UK Clinical Extension. Instead, all 4-weekly releases of the Drug Extension through 2019 will remain based on the 31st July 2018 International Edition and 30th October 2018 UK Clinical Extension, until the next 'integrated' release of the UK Edition scheduled for 1st October 2019.
Further updates will be published throughout spring 2019 as the migration to new tooling is undertaken, both by the same channels as this notice and via DELEN , our collaboration and information sharing platform.
We apologise for this alteration to our normal service, and would be happy to discuss what we might practically do to help reduce its more adverse knock-on effects.
