Welsh Emergency Care Data Set (WECDS) Documentation

WECDS will support the linkage of data across healthcare and social care services ensuring that it is possible to understand the complete patient journey through Urgent and Emergency Care (UEC) Services. The initial focus of this phase of WECDS implementation is on Type 1 Emergency Departments (24-hour, consultant lead ED’s), Minor Injury Units (MIU’s), and Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC).

The documents below contain some of the larger code lists that form the data set.

Supplementary documentation will be added to support the delivery of WECDS.
