Description

A list of SNOMED CT codes related to refugee or asylum status, including codes related to presence in an immigration removal centre.

Methodology

This codelist was created by searching for the following terms and then selecting codes that were relevant to this aspect of migration status: asylum, refugee, illegal, initial health assessment

The codelist was reviewed with two GPs who have experience caring for migrant patients.

18/2/25: Added all asylum codes and immigration removal centre (IRC) codes (based on the rationale that individuals in IRCs are likely applying for asylum)


Codelists are developed by a broad community of users for individual study purposes, which may or may not meet the needs of other studies. They should not be thought of as universal definitions of a particular condition.

We don't offer any guarantees about what they do or don't identify. Users should carefully check that any codelist meets their needs, and seek clinical input where appropriate.
