    There isn't an official list of medical abbreviations that i know of... just type medical abbreviations into Google.

    I dont think there are any official abbreviations, you just need to clarify the abbreviation the first time you write it eg, Mr X had suffered a pulmonary embolism (PE)..... or Preeclampsia (PE) is a hypertensive condition in pregnant women. As you see, many abbreviations are often standing for several different things, and the meaning will depend on what specialty you work in, hence standardization of abbreviation has not occured.

    In terms of hospital notes, I think the generally understood ones are:
    1/7 - one day
    1/52 - one week
    1/12 - one month
    FU - follow up
    OPD - outpatients department

    Is it those sort of abbreviations you are refering to?
