What is not recorded as a SNOMED code on the patient's record?

💊 Repeat medications because this information could be inaccurate and practices have different processes for handling repeat medication.

🩺 Allergies and long-term conditions because if these are coded incorrectly it can have consequences for a patient's record and QOF.

📑 Documents because we don't currently upload these to the clinical record.

‼️ For any information that is not SNOMED coded, we leave a consultation note in the patient's record with the relevant details. Additionally, we place a signal on the form to alert the practice that the information needs to be reviewed.

This ensures that important information is captured and flagged for review, even if it cannot be directly SNOMED coded.
