SCIMP Codelist May 2020

SCIMP are pleased to provide the latest COVID-19 recommended codes for use across NHS Scotland.  These can be downloaded as a one page word document. They can also be downloaded as an Excel workbook that contains the COVID-19 codes at the top with other SCIMP recommended codes below.

The SCIMP recommended codes are for use in primary care with the aim to promote consistent data entry across Scotland.  To assist, we have listed suggested priorities of these codes and also include one page of the same codes in Read code chapter order.  In general high priority codes, which tend to be diagnoses should be shared when referring patients.  Clinical judgement or exclusion lists should be used so information shared is suitable for the destination of the referral.
