Guideline Application: Work to a coding guideline covering hierarchy scope, negation, medication scope, section-level inclusions and compound coding, applied consistently across a large volume of documents.
Edge Case Handling: Flag ambiguous or contested cases with a short rationale so guidance can be refined.
Quality Review: Participate in adjudication rounds to resolve disagreements and reach a consensus code set.

Experience: Minimum 1–2 years of clinical practice, with SNOMED CT coding or clinical terminology experience.
Knowledge: Strong grounding in clinical documentation, terminology and coding conventions.
Attention to detail: Proven accuracy and consistency in coding or clinical review work.
