Dr Jeremy Rogers

Principal Terminology Specialist, NHS Digital

Jeremy is a clinically qualified medical informatician with over 20 years of experience in the development and use of clinical terminologies and classifications.

After completing his GP training in 1994, Jeremy spent 12 years in academic informatics at the University of Manchester with Prof Alan Rector. His research interests there covered many biohealth informatics ‘Grand Challenges’ including: medical ontology design and maintenance, description logics, terminology binding, natural language processing, information governance, decision support and human-computer interfaces. Before gaining his MD by thesis in 2004, he was first author of 14 papers, presented tutorials and workshops at international medical informatics conferences, and was course director of a Biohealth Informatics MSc. He has been an invited speaker to the European Bioinformatics Institute, Welcome Trust, Medical Research Council, BMJ Clinical Knowledge, Mayo Clinic, Stanford University, University of Washington, US National Library of Medicine, Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, Society of Indexers and to colleagues within the UK, Swedish, Dutch, Danish and Korean Health Ministries.

Jeremy joined the UK Terminology Centre as a Principal Terminology Specialist in 2006. His current work revolves around technical support for the migration of the entire UK Primary Care estate from READ to SNOMED CT by 2018; he has particular responsibility for the between-terminology mapping tables and is the software developer behind the Data Migration Workbench product.

Alongside his informatics career, Jeremy has worked as a (very) part-time GP until 2015, when he finally hung up his stethoscope and stopped entering real READ codes into real patient records. He wrote his first ‘Hello World’ computer program in 1979.')
