Keywords

Clinical details are entered from the Read dictionary by either Keyword or Read code.

About 150,000 Read terms can be selected by keyword, for example sinusitis and anxiety, this leaves a lot of terms you can only find by means of the code hierarchy.

Keywords are not always parts of the Read term, for example, IHD for Ischaemic heart disease.
