SNOMED CT is the standard clinical terminology for the NHS to support recording of clinical information, in a way that supports data management and analysis to support patient care, while enabling data extraction and data exchange.

SNOMED CT provides a comprehensive set of clinical phrases or terms; this is called a terminology.

SNOMED CT is much more than just a set of clinical phrases, for example it also includes groups with relationships between terms. It is the most comprehensive international terminology currently available and can be used across all care settings and all clinical domains.
