SNOMED CT® is the clinical terminology approved as an Information Standard.
Requirements for utilising SNOMED CT® are stated within the National Information Board document "A Framework for Action" and SNOMED CT® can be downloaded from Technology Reference Data Update Distribution (TRUD).
SNOMED CT® provides the clinical language that facilitates electronic communication between healthcare professionals in clear and unambiguous terms, and can be used to code, retrieve and analyse clinical data.
SNOMED CT® is comprehensive and provides clinical terms for all healthcare professions. Applications often use subsets of SNOMED CT®, known as SNOMED CT Refsets, that have been developed to support specific requirements. The NHS Data Model and Dictionary references SNOMED CT Refsets to support data reporting for specific data items.
SNOMED CT® has been distributed in Release Format 2 (RF2) since 1 April 2018. SNOMED CT® contains SNOMED CT Refsets referenced by refset ID, which are listed in the Data Dictionary for Care (DD4C).
SNOMED CT® is managed and maintained internationally by SNOMED International and in the UK by NHS Digital.
National and International arrangements have been established to ensure there is adequate and relevant governance of SNOMED CT®, to ensure it meets the needs of healthcare in the respective jurisdictions.
Note: previous versions of SNOMED (including SNOMED RT and SNOMED 3) ceased to be licensed after April 2017 other than for historical content.
Mapping tables and guidance to enable historical data previously captured using a previous version of SNOMED, can be found on the Technology Reference Data Update Distribution (TRUD) at: SNOMED Antecedent Versions Data Migration.
For:
- An initial introduction to SNOMED CT®, see the SNOMED CT Starter Guide
- Those needing more comprehensive documentation, see the Technical Implementation Guide

An entry on an ELECTIVE ADMISSION LIST denoting a PATIENT for whom the DECISION TO ADMIT has been made.
Being placed on the ELECTIVE ADMISSION LIST will result in an ELECTIVE ADMISSION LIST ENTRY. When the ELECTIVE ADMISSION LIST ENTRY is first recorded, the ORIGINAL DECIDED TO ADMIT DATE should be recorded as the same as the DECIDED TO ADMIT DATE of the first DECISION TO ADMIT.
It is possible for a PATIENT to have more than one ELECTIVE ADMISSION LIST ENTRY, either for a different condition or for the same condition where two or more admissions are required.
Only one ELECTIVE ADMISSION LIST ENTRY should be made in the event of the intention to perform two or more procedures during one admission.
To monitor key targets it is necessary for the Health Care Provider responsible for the ELECTIVE ADMISSION LIST, to record the date of any previous OFFERS OF ADMISSION for the same condition, which was made by a previous Health Care Provider and then cancelled by them on the day of or after admission for non-medical reasons.
The ELECTIVE ADMISSION LIST ENTRY is removed from the WAITING LIST when the PATIENT is admitted or removed for other specified reasons. ELECTIVE ADMISSION LIST REMOVAL REASON records the method of removal from the list and ELECTIVE ADMISSION LIST REMOVAL DATE records the removal date.The ELECTIVE ADMISSION LIST ENTRY is removed from the WAITING LIST when the PATIENT is admitted or removed for other specified reasons. ELECTIVE ADMISSION LIST REMOVAL REASON records the method of removal from the list and ELECTIVE ADMISSION LIST REMOVAL DATE records the removal date.
Once removed from the ELECTIVE ADMISSION LIST, the PATIENT ceases to be waiting for admission and all associated OFFERS OF ADMISSION become inactive.
Note: An ELECTIVE ADMISSION LIST ENTRY must be related to a DECISION TO ADMIT.

Change to Attribute: Changed Description
A unique code identifying each MAIN SPECIALTY designated by Royal Colleges. This is the same as the NHS OCCUPATION CODES describing specialties.
Specialties are divisions of clinical work which may be defined by body systems (dermatology), age (paediatrics), clinical technology (nuclear medicine), clinical function (rheumatology), group of diseases (oncology) or combinations of these factors. Only Specialty titles recognised by the Royal Colleges and Faculties should be used. This list is maintained by the General and Specialist Medical Practice (Education, Training and Qualifications) Order 2003 and European Primary and Specialist Dental Qualifications Regulations 1998.
Each CONSULTANT should be assigned a MAIN SPECIALTY by the ORGANISATION to which the CONSULTANT is contracted. For physicians and surgeons with a generalist component to their work, the MAIN SPECIALTY should be general medicine or general surgery. The hallmark of a general physician or general surgeon is the continued care of unselected emergency referrals. The MAIN SPECIALTY is specific to a Health Care Provider. If, for example, a CONSULTANT physician working in two Health Care Providers has a generalist component to the work in one and not the other, general medicine is only assigned as the MAIN SPECIALTY in the former case. CONSULTANTS in general medicine or general surgery may also have specialist interests and these should be recorded as well as the MAIN SPECIALTY.
The initial source of the information should be the designation on the CONSULTANT's contract. This should be checked periodically against the work a CONSULTANT is actually doing so that the statistics can relate to a CONSULTANT's current type of work.
The MAIN SPECIALTY only should be used for the purpose of producing Specialty costing statistics and for Workforce statistics where links with ACTIVITY and finance are required. Other specialist interests of CONSULTANTS may be recorded for workforce planning purposes.
This will be used to indicate the skill level of medical and dental employees.
Pseudo MAIN SPECIALTY CODES should be used in Commissioning Data Set messages for lead CARE PROFESSIONALS other than CONSULTANT medical and dental staff e.g. 560, 950 and 960.
The MAIN SPECIALTY CODE for GENERAL PRACTITIONERS is General Medical Practice or General Dental Practice.
Joint Consultant Clinic ACTIVITY should be recorded against the MAIN SPECIALTY CODE of the CONSULTANT managing the clinic.
For further information, contact NHS Digital by email at: enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk with the subject "Main Specialty and Treatment Function Codes".
Further information on the groupings and each MAIN SPECIALTY CODE is provided at: Main Specialty and Treatment Function Codes Table.
Note:
- New National Codes for MAIN SPECIALTY CODE were introduced from 2 April 2020 as part of the update to the DCB0028: Treatment Function and Main Specialty Standard. Submission of these codes for the Commissioning Data Sets is only possible where the healthcare provider has updated their CDS-XML schema version to CDS-XML version 6-2-0. Users of the original CDS-XML schema version 6-2 will be unable to submit the new codes introduced in the release of DCB0028: Treatment Function and Main Specialty Standard in April 2020.

TREATMENT FUNCTION CODE is a unique identifier for a TREATMENT FUNCTION.A unique identifier for a TREATMENT FUNCTION.
TREATMENT FUNCTION CODE is recorded to report the specialised service within which the PATIENT is treated.A TREATMENT FUNCTION CODE is recorded to report the specialised service within which the PATIENT is treated.
It is based on MAIN SPECIALTY but also includes approved sub-specialties and treatment specialties used by lead CARE PROFESSIONALS including CONSULTANTS.
TREATMENT FUNCTION, rather than the Royal College or Faculty specialty, is required on most activity returns and in the Commissioning Data Sets.
TREATMENT FUNCTION CODES should be used for all data sets/collections unless otherwise stated e.g. National Workforce Data Set uses MAIN SPECIALTY CODES.
GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONER, NURSE and Allied Health Professional/ Biomedical Scientist/ Clinical Scientist ACTIVITY should be recorded against the TREATMENT FUNCTION under which the PATIENT is treated.
Joint Consultant Clinic ACTIVITY should be recorded against the TREATMENT FUNCTION which best describes the specialised service.
Assigning a Treatment Function Code:
Further information on the groupings and scope of each TREATMENT FUNCTION CODE is provided at: Main Specialty and Treatment Function Codes Table.
- Assigning a TREATMENT FUNCTION CODE for a SERVICE is a decision which must be made locally. For national reporting purposes, only the TREATMENT FUNCTION CODES listed in the table below must be used.
- Recording of activity according to TREATMENT FUNCTION CODES is not on the basis of the procedure carried out, but should be allocated according to whether a specialised SERVICE exists within the Health Care Provider for that TREATMENT FUNCTION CODE, such as a CLINIC OR FACILITY.
- TREATMENT FUNCTION CODES have not been mapped to procedures or MAIN SPECIALTY.
- TREATMENT FUNCTION CODE should be assigned irrespective of the type of CARE PROFESSIONAL responsible. This is also applicable where the name of the TREATMENT FUNCTION CODE suggests it is limited for use by a particular Healthcare Profession.
- A change in TREATMENT FUNCTION CODE, but no change in responsible CARE PROFESSIONAL, does not initiate a new episode of care. For the Commissioning Data Sets, the ACTIVITY TREATMENT FUNCTION CODE reported should be that which is recorded at the CDS ACTIVITY DATE.
For further information, contact NHS Digital by email at: enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk with the subject "Main Specialty and Treatment Function Codes".
Further information on the groupings and scope of each TREATMENT FUNCTION CODE is provided at: Main Specialty and Treatment Function Codes Table.
Note:
- New National Codes for TREATMENT FUNCTION CODE were introduced from 2 April 2020 as part of the update to the DCB0028: Treatment Function and Main Specialty Standard. Submission of these codes for the Commissioning Data Sets is only possible where the healthcare provider has updated their CDS-XML schema version to CDS-XML version 6-2-0. Users of the original CDS-XML schema version 6-2 will be unable to submit the new codes introduced in the release of DCB0028: Treatment Function and Main Specialty Standard in April 2020 or the addendum to DCB0028 released in January 2021 to add a new TREATMENT FUNCTION CODE to represent Post-COVID-19 Syndrome Services.
