I am not sure who actually pioneered the WLM schedules (can
probably find out if you wish) - but the Wessex
Classification Scheme, published by the S&W Health Care
Libraries Unit, certainly contains a version of it.
The Wessex Classification Scheme, adapted from the NLM
Scheme - and a complementary thesaurus and index based on
Mesh - is regularly maintained and revised by librarians
working in the South and West Region to reflect changes in
the NHS and health care practice and terminology.
Both publications are available for sale from the S&W HCLU
(address below). Please e-mail me if you would like
further information
