Clinical Coding Read Version 2
Agenda Clinical Coding Read Version 2
A Half Day Workshop
Designed specifically for primary care staff involved in clinical coding using Read Version 2, this workshop will enable delegates to feel confident that they are coding correctly. Delegates will understand the structure of Read V2 and how this assists in selecting the correct code. The workshop will explore different search techniques and raise awareness of common pitfalls and errors to avoid. This half day workshop is theory-based, with demonstrations provided using the NHS Browser. A joint practical exercise will be undertaken during the session with input from delegates and a further exercise provided within the workbook should be completed back at practice to consolidate learning.
