Notes:
OCCUPATION CODE (CLINICAL SECOND SPECIALTY) is the same as attribute OCCUPATION CODE.

This is the secondary specialty OCCUPATION CODE of a CONSULTANT.

The medical and dental specialty OCCUPATION CODES are currently used exclusively for National Workforce and Electronic Staff Record purposes.

The NHS Occupation Codes are maintained by The NHS Information Centre for health and social care on behalf of the Department of Health and can be viewed at NHS Occupation Code Manual.

Please note these codes are not the same as those used for MAIN SPECIALTY CODE.

A second clinical specialty OCCUPATION CODE is added to a CONSULTANT or Specialist's record where the doctor's primary (main) specialty is 'General Medicine'.

Note that Specialty codes for a doctor with an OCCUPATION CODE of 021 General Surgery, or in the OCCUPATION CODE range of 920 to 980 Community and Public Health Medicine/Dentistry, are not valid as a second clinical specialty.
