New NHS Scotland requirements
From August 2024 NHS Scotland requires us to transmit additional annotation and material codes for certain treatments.
To accommodate this, we have added additional treatment codes as replacements to the more generic versions of those treatments - allowing you to specify the annotation and material at the point of charting.
Read more about the NHS changes over on the NHS website here.
