This web workshop will give delegates a clear understanding of both the transactional elements

of SNOMED CT and the transformational change it has brought to GP practices.


Overview

SNOMED CT** - Systematised Nomenclature of Medicine - Clinical Terms – is the common

clinical language that have replaced Read codes within the NHS. SNOMED CT is a

comprehensive clinical terminology that makes healthcare information accessible and usable

across the globe. SNOMED provides a “common language” comprised of concepts, terms and

relationships that enable a consistent way of capturing, sharing and aggregating health data

across clinical specialties and different sites of care.


** SNOMED CT® resulted from the merger of SNOMED® Reference Terminology (SNOMED®

RT) developed by the College of American Pathologists (CAP) and Clinical Terms Version 3

(CTV3) developed by the UK National Health Service (NHS). As a comprehensive clinical

reference terminology, it enables clinicians, researchers and patients to share comparable data

while facilitating enhanced health reporting, billing and statistical analysis.
