SNOMED codes replacing READ codes

Read codes are transitioning to a new medical coding system called SNOMED codes - "Systemised Nomenclature of medicine".

SNOMED codes will gradually replace the Read codes currently used to record, report and understand a client's medical condition. Including how their condition may impact their ability to work, and the kind of support a clients needs, or programmes they may be eligible to get.

Until the transition process has been completed both Read codes and SNOMED codes can be used.
