111 Referral Standard: Guidance For All Prsb Standards

The term ‘role’ has been consistently used rather than ‘designation’ throughout PRSB standards to apply to the role the professional had in an activity. It is the term used in the NHS data dictionary.

The term ‘organisational role’ means the role the professional has in their employer organisation.

Some clusters such as referrer details have elements for one or more of specialty, team, service and department. This is to allow for all situations across health and care where different terms are required. Where possible specialty and service should be used and coded as detailed in the value set for the element.
