Unified Test List

The Unified Test List is a catalogue of SNOMED CT coded laboratory medicine test requests intended for use by Pathology services and their users across the NHS. The Unified Test List is still under development by NHS Digital and is part of the National Pathology Information Standards, supporting the NHS CCIO7 work streams.

Note that the status of the Unified Test List is 'In Development' as defined in the IReS Terminology Product Development Lifecycle (external PDF). 'In Development' means:

  • neither the release format specification nor the method of content preparation of the product are public or fixed
  • there is no obligation for public release of any 'In Development' product though early iterations may be released to external collaborators including (but not limited to) the original external requestor/sponsor
  • quality and safety assurance of the product may be ill-defined and/or absent
  • in the event that the product is found to be less useful than thought, or unsafe, or too costly to produce, the Terminology & Classifications Management Group may determine that its development be abandoned

Initially we intend to update the Unified Test List every 4-6 weeks as we continue to develop this product based on feedback.

You can find additional information on the National Pathology Information Standards work at the Pathology & Diagnostics Information Standards Collaboration Space.
