New character code
ODS will be introducing a new 7 character code for all new dental practices from February 2021.
The majority of practices that are already coded as 6 characters in our data will remain the same and won’t be changed. However, a small number of practices will need to migrate over to the new 7 character code. This means that our data will have a mixed economy of the currently coded 6 characters, plus the new 7 characters.
A test file containing the new dental practice codes is now available from the data downloads web page. This is a forward view that should be used for testing purposes only. ODS does not recommend that this is used in any live systems or processing.
We plan to introduce the new 7 character code into our Egdprac file in February 2021.
