Introduction

The purpose of this survey is to gather feedback from SLTs working in the UK about the terms they want to use in electronic patient records. This work has come about in response to the rollout of a clinical terminology system called SNOMED CT. Your input will guide us in requesting changes to this system, to ensure that it is appropriate for speech and language therapy. This has the potential for far-reaching impact in terms of clinical care, service planning and research.

We want to hear from all RCSLT members:
  • You do not need to work in the NHS or have prior knowledge of terminology systems like SNOMED CT.
  • You do not need to be a specialist in a particular area.
  • We are happy to receive multiple responses from SLTs working in the same team or area, but if you would like to provide a co-ordinated response, there is a place in the survey to explain this.

Please complete this short survey to give your feedback on the proposals, even if you agree with them and have no further comments.

This survey will close on Friday 24 January 2025 at 5pm.

This survey is aimed at practising SLTs. However, we know that others will have an interest in this work, including the people SLTs work with. If you are not an SLT, but would like to get in touch about this project, please contact us on professional_development@rcslt.org

Responses to this survey are anonymous by default. If you choose to identify yourself in the comments, this information may be used to guide further discussions, but will remain confidential to the project officers. Comments may be used for illustrative purposes when sharing the outcomes of this survey, but not where this might identify an individual or group. You can read RCSLT's privacy policy here.
