Read Codes to Snomed CT

£99.95

An online presented webinar which covers the basic to intermediate theory of Electronic Patient Note Summarising. You will learn how to pick out the salient points and important medical history to be recorded; and the process for doing so. This course does not cover Cancer coding; as this is a more advanced course; but is useful for anyone already summarising who has been self-taught; or anyone beginning to learn how to summarise a patients notes.

This course is for anyone who is summarising, or going to summarise, patients medical records, either from a Lloyd George Folder, or a GP2GP upload, as well as anyone who spends time checking the note entries in the patients notes.

It is not essential, but it is advisable to have previously attended our other clinical courses first, particularly:

  • Medical Terminology and Body Systems
  • Read Codes to Snomed Codes

It is useful to have a basic working knowledge of the clinical software used by your GP Practice, which could either be Emis Web, SystmOne or Vision.
