Dear colleague,

The sample batch of 18 VMPs, that are part of the shift to use of UK extension IDs for all VMP concepts in both dm+d and SNOMED CT UK Drug Extension, are now available to download via the Technology Reference Update Distribution (TRUD) website.

The bulk of the VMP ID changes will then proceed from May 2023 onwards. The roll out plan and list of concepts affected by these changes are available on our webiste..

Further information about the above changes and the others planned for later in 2023 is available on the UK Medicines Terminology Futures pages.

If you have any queries about the changes that are taking place, please contact nhsdigital.ukmeds@nhs.net

Kind regards,

Terminology and Classifications Delivery Service
