Example Usage Scenarios

The UK Core Medication profile will likely not be used in isolation. It does not provide the context for the medication, e.g. the patient or medication related process. It will be typically used as a referenced resource within


Profile Specific Implementation Guidance:

Minimum Viable Content

A minimum viable content that all provider and consumer systems SHALL support are the following elements.

Element Reason
Medication.code Codes that identify this medication.

Extensions

More information about the extensions can be found using the links below.

Extension Context Link Comment
medicationTradeFamily Medication Extension UKCore-MedicationTradeFamily Used to identify a Trade Family or brand associated with a Medication, specifically when the medication is defined using a dm+d Virtual Therapeutic Moiety (VTM) concept.

Bindings (differential)

More information about the bindings to UK Core ValueSets can be found below.

Context Strength Link
Medication.extension:MedicationTradeFamily Preferred ValueSet UKCore-MedicationTradeFamily
Medication.code Preferred ValueSet UKCore-MedicationCode
Medication.form Preferred ValueSet UKCore-MedicationForm

code

All medication SHOULD be represented using the NHS dm+d terminology.

  • The Medication.code.coding.system SHOULD be https://dmd.nhs.uk.
  • The Medication.code.coding.code SHOULD be the NHS dm+d concept code.
  • The Medication.code.coding.display SHOULD be the NHS dm+d concept description.

manufacturer

Name of the manufacturer by reference to the organisation.

The resource being referenced SHALL conform to Profile UKCore-Organization.


form

Within the dm+d terminology, the Virtual Medicinal Product (VMP), Actual Medicinal Product (AMP), Virtual Medicinal Product Pack (VMPP) and Actual Medicinal Product Pack (AMPP) concepts include a coded form.

This element SHOULD be used where a medication is identified using a dm+d Virtual Therapeutic Moiety (VTM) concept and the prescriber wishes to qualify the VTM with a coded form.


ingredient

The actual ingredient or content by reference. The resource being referenced SHALL conform to one of the following:
