Release of dm+d files

dm+d and its supporting files and information are released through TRUD (Technology Reference Update Distribution). TRUD is hosted by NHS England and provides the distribution and licensing mechanism for NHS terminologies (including dm+d). 

For more information, visit the NHS TRUD website.

dm+d subpacks

We publish a weekly dm+d subpack, including

• dm+d TRUD release schedule - a description of TRUD release ID, extraction date, distribution date and week number
• dm+d in XML format - this also includes a mapping file between AMPP and GTIN

We also publish a dm+d supplementary subpack which contains XML files, including:

• historic code data file – this contains the full history of current, previous and lost codes for dm+d class concepts that might change
• BNF / ATC mapping files – we maintain a list of ATC classifications and pseudo BNF codes linked to products in primary care
• VTM ingredients

Terminology Server

The Terminology Server is a FHIR® compliant solution that holds and disseminates assured international terminologies and classifications (such as SNOMED CT and ICD-10) and terminologies mandated for use in England, including dm+d.

The NHS England Terminology Server - NHS England Digital

The dm+d code system document in the NHS England Terminology Server is aimed at both technical and non-technical users of dm+d data and should be read before attempting to query dm+d data in the NHS Terminology Server.

There is also a syndication feed (API) which enables content to be syndicated across a group of terminology servers. This allows you to share your own terminologies with others.
