• Withdrawal of the NHS dm+d (dictionary of medicines and devices) realm language reference set

  Published: October 2019

  Dear colleague,

  NHS Digital intends to withdraw the NHS dm+d (dictionary of medicines and devices) realm language reference set in April 2020:

  • 999000671000001103 |National Health Service dictionary of medicines and devices realm language reference set (foundation metadata concept)|

  The Pharmacy Terminology Team at NHS Digital believe this language reference set no longer serves a useful purpose and has been fully superseded by the NHS realm language reference set (pharmacy part):

  • 999000691000001104 |National Health Service realm language reference set (pharmacy part) (foundation metadata concept)|

  In the absence of any substantive objections this change will be actioned in the April 2020 SNOMED CT UK Drug Extension data.

  Please email any comments to information.standards@nhs.net by the end of Friday 28 February 2020.

  Kind regards

• Please take part in the public consultation on the NHS Digital, Data and Technology Standards Framework

  Published: November 2018

  On October 17th, Secretary of State Matt Hancock published his vision for The Future of Healthcare. The vision emphasises the importance of technology and in particular the importance of technical standards that will help the NHS and social care to benefit from the potential of modern technology. The vision is out for consultation and people can provide feedback on it via this questionnaire.

  Alongside the vision, we have also published two important documents, which we are keen to get your feedback on. These documents are:

  1. The NHS Digital, Data and Technology Standards Framework

  and

  2. The Clinical Information Standards Specification 

  You can read and comment upon both documents on our dedicated consultation platform. The documents are in a format which allows you to comment publicly, but anonymously, so that everyone can see what each other is saying. Our hope is that this will help to avoid duplication, while also prompting thoughts and helping themes to emerge. There is also a short questionnaire on the site which allows you to provide feedback privately. The documents cover standards that are very important to the Delen community, including SNOMED CT, dm+d, ICD and OPCS-4 so it is essential that we get as much feedback as possible.

  We very much look forward to reading your responses, which will be used to update the documents and inform our plans.
