Prostate cancer: Update on coding for GnRH injections

NCL Wide

From 1st April 2025, the SNOMED code for prostate cancer GnRH injections will change from 1856951000006103 to 892651000000109 in the updated 2025/26 LCS to ensure consistency in coding.

The GPIT team will update the EMIS form automatically, maintaining its current functionality with no additional training required. It is understood that both codes may already be in use in some practices. Please be assured that payments for both codes will be honoured for the 2024-25 financial year, ensuring there is no disruption or disadvantage to practices during this transition.
