- The Implementation Web Series - A collection of quarterly webinars, which focus on SNOMED CT implementation topics important to our user community.
- The Drug Extension User Support Group (DEUSG) - A community driven group providing support to implementers of SNOMED CT drug extensions.
- The Mapping Tool User Group (MTUG) - A user group formed to help clarify and prioritise requirements for a tool for mapping from other code systems to SNOMED CT.

Implementation Web Series
The next Implementation Web Series will be held on Thursday 11th March 2021 at 10:00 UTC.
Title: The practical application of SNOMED CT in clinical decision support and integration with GP health records
Presenters: Jonathan Olsen (System Architect, BPAC CS), Eric Robertson (Chief Information Officer, BPAC CS), Ian Rubin (Medical Director, CARE IS)
Summary: This 90 minute implementation webinar will be presented by BPAC Clinical Solutions. BPAC's core business is providing clinical tools and systems to the primary health sector and linking eHealth systems together to help improve the patient journey. At the heart of these clinical tools are a rules engine and the APIs that provide the ability to read coded clinical data from the patient's record into the rules engine to support clinical decision making and improve efficiency. The rules engine is built using SNOMED CT as the clinical ontology of choice.This webinar will describe the architecture of these solutions, the practical application of SNOMED CT in clinical decision support and the management of the clinical information in the application interfaces.
