Medical Doctor with SNOMED Coding Experience (UK)

TLDR

Annotate de-identified clinical documents with SNOMED CT, resolve ambiguous cases, and support clinical AI development through consensus coding.

We are seeking qualified medical doctors to annotate and code clinical documents with SNOMED CT, with a focus on accuracy and consistency against detailed coding guidelines.

You will work asynchronously on a dedicated annotation platform, coding de-identified clinical notes and documentation including discharge summaries, lab results and progress notes against SNOMED CT concepts to support the development of clinical AI platforms.

This is a remote, flexible and short-term project.

Key Responsibilities

  • Structured Annotation: Identify clinically relevant concepts across discharge summaries, lab results and prognosis notes, and map them to the correct SNOMED CT codes on a dedicated platform.

  • Guideline Application: Work to a coding guideline covering hierarchy scope, negation, medication scope, section-level inclusions and compound coding, applied consistently across a large volume of documents.

  • Edge Case Handling: Flag ambiguous or contested cases with a short rationale so guidance can be refined.

  • Quality Review: Participate in adjudication rounds to resolve disagreements and reach a consensus code set.

Qualifications:

License: GMC Registered Doctor based in the UK

Experience: Minimum 1–2 years of clinical practice, with SNOMED CT coding or clinical terminology experience.

Knowledge: Strong grounding in clinical documentation, terminology and coding conventions.

Attention to detail: Proven accuracy and consistency in coding or clinical review work.
