International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD)
The ICD provides a common language that allows health professionals to share standardised information across the world. It is the foundation for identifying health trends and statistics worldwide, containing around 17 000 unique codes for injuries, diseases and causes of death, underpinned by more than 120 000 codable terms. By using code combinations, more than 1.6 million clinical situations can now be coded.
Compared with previous versions, ICD-11 is entirely digital with a new user-friendly format and multilingual capabilities that reduce the chance of error. It has been compiled and updated with input from over 90 countries and unprecedented involvement of health-care providers, enabling evolution from a system imposed on clinicians into a truly enabling clinical classification and terminology database that serves a broad range of uses for recording and reporting statistics on health.
The current bulletins for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and EMDR, produced by Greater Manchester Mental Health Trust, are now available to view and download.

We apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause. A virtual service will be in operation during the Christmas period. Details are below. Please email the library team with any requests: academic.library@lscft.nhs.uk
