| Specialty | text | Specialty of the healthcare professional who is in charge of the patient episode.

NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde code patients under more than one specialty with code 'XSU', as this is not on the list of ISD Specialty codes this has resulted in these patients specialty codes being mapped to a blank code. |
