Terms included are mostly those discussed by managers and politicians (usually because they cost money) or which you may find included in medical notes. I have, I am afraid, stopped updating the list, as Google seems to work well enough for terms that are in current use. I must thank Mervyn Monks of South Gloucestershire LINk who contributed a substantial collection of new acronyms. I have tried to include Scottish, Irish, and Welsh terms.
It has a regional bias towards Manchester, but jargon in the rest of the UK is not very different.
This glossary was intended to help lay people to understand what people in health and social care are talking about when they use acronyms.
