NHS PCD refsets updated in OpenCodelists
22 July 2025
The NHS PCD (Primary Care Domain) reference sets (refsets) are a collection of codelists used in NHS business rules. We have recently imported the latest NHS PCD refsets into OpenCodelists. These refsets (tagged 20250627
) are now available for use in OpenSAFELY analyses, ensuring researchers have access to the most up-to-date resources.
As part of our ongoing commitment to improving OpenSAFELY, we have enhanced the refset loading process. What was previously a manual, time-consuming workflow is now almost entirely automated. This means new versions of the refsets will be available to our users much more quickly and reliably.
