UKNFR - Call for Data
4th July 2022
Letter from Peter Kalu, UKNFR Audit Lead:
Building on the fantastic work of Anita Hazari, the second UKNFR report is due for publication based upon the last three years of data. The UKNFR is a collaboration between 5 surgical speciality associations: BAPRAS, BAOMS, ABS, BAHNO and BSSH.
Like the first report, we will aggregate national data on all flaps without units and surgeons names specified. It will have national averages for key performance indicators: case mix, age, demographics, flap success, unplanned return to theatre and length of stay. These will be listed broadly according to anatomically reconstructed areas:
- Breast
- Head & Neck
- Upper limb
- Lower limb
- Trunk
- Perineum
Participating units will be listed in the report, however specific data on each unit's performance will not be in the report.
The final cut of UKNFR data will be taken on 8th August 2022 the time period covered will by 31st July 2019 to 8th August 2022.
If you are a UKNFR user, please check your data for completion and accuracy.
If you perform flaps for reconstruction, and you have not registered or entered data, please register and enter data retrospectively from 31st July 2019.
If there are any issues with submitting data then please contact the UKNFR helpdesk team (national-support@e-dendrite.com or call +44 1491 411 288). I am also happy to be contacted directly for any issues.
