A unique identifier for a TREATMENT FUNCTION.
The appropriate TREATMENT FUNCTION CODE should be used to record activity undertaken, irrespective of the type of Healthcare Professional who performs it, even where the name of the TREATMENT FUNCTION CODE suggests it is limited for use by a particular Healthcare Profession.
TREATMENT FUNCTION, rather than the Royal College or Faculty specialty, is required on most activity returns and in the Commissioning Data Sets (CDS). It is based on specialty, but also includes approved sub-specialties and treatment specialties used by lead CARE PROFESSIONALS including hospital CONSULTANTS.
The appropriate TREATMENT FUNCTION CODE can be used by any lead CARE PROFESSIONAL e.g. Intermediate Care as the ACTIVITY TREATMENT FUNCTION CODE for a Nursing Episode.
