• Basic Anatomy & Physiology Manual 2020 and NCCQ (UK) Bibliography

  Published: May 2020

  Dear colleague,

  The Basic Anatomy & Physiology Clinical Coding Instruction Manual and NCCQ (UK) Syllabus, Framework and bibliography along with the NCCQ (UK) Self-Directed Learning Framework have been updated for 2020.

  The SNOMED CT section of the NCCQ (UK) bibliography has been simplified to include the SNOMED CT Awareness for Clinical Coders presentation.

  There have been some minor amendments to the A&P manual, these can be found in the table of changes located in Section 12 at the end of the manual. Following discussions with our publisher TSO, it has become clear that the demand for hard copies of the Basic Anatomy & Physiology Clinical Coding Instruction Manual has reduced significantly. The A&P manual sales average at only six per month and the books would require a significant price increase to offset the high production costs of a full colour publication, which makes the Print on Demand service a non-viable option.

  We have therefore taken the decision to cease production of hard copies of the A&P manual from the 2020 version onwards.

  Electronic versions of all of the reference books, including the A&P manual will continue to be available for download from Delen.

  Kind regards

• Error in the OPCS-4.9 National Clinical Coding Standards (2020) reference book example

  Published: May 2020

  Dear colleague,

  We can confirm that there is an error in the third example following PCSX24: High Cost Drugs (X81-X98) in the National Clinical Coding Standards OPCS-4.9 Reference Book 2020. The example should read:

  Patient with rheumatoid arthritis admitted solely for an intermittent IV infusion of Rituximab

  X28.1 Intermittent intravenous infusion of therapeutic substance

  Once the example has been corrected, we will re-publish the reference book. 

  We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. 

  Kind regards
