There are now 94 live sites. Of these 73 are registered with NHS Digital and a further 38 are submitting data.
QUARTERLY DATA SUBMISSION & REPORTS
Thank you to everyone who uploaded data to NHS Digital at the end of June. The quarterly reports will be made available in the next few weeks. Participating sites will receive a summary profile of the data they submitted to the Registry. Sites that are also uploading data as part of the Biologics Audit will also receive a summary showing compliance with the KPIs. Teams who missed the deadline will receive an example data report.
The next data submission deadlines are 30th September and 29th December. If you need any help at all in preparing for this, or if you have not yet registered with NHS Digital, please email [email protected].
