BCR Datasets - Important Notice 29th January 2010

Two changes have been made to the prostatectomy operation and follow up datasets and if you are bulk importing data you should ensure these changes are made to your extracts before running further imports.

The changes can be seen here: Change to prostatectomy datasets

The new web based database launched in June is now well established with many members successfully entering data into all the Section of Oncology audits including the nephrectomy audit that was combined with the Section of Endourology dataset in January 2009 and all historical data has been imported into the new system.

From January 1^st 2010 the only method for returning data (for on-line audits) will be via the web-based program. No paper returns and no extracts from the current access databases will be accepted after 31^st December 2009.  (Any paper forms submitted to Sarah Fowler after this date will be returned to sender). Any data returned up to the end of the year will be transferred to the new system as soon as possible. You are therefore encouraged to start entering your data directly onto the new system as soon as possible.

 Login to the new system here: https://audits.baus.org.uk

In order to encourage direct entry onto the system and avoid duplication of effort new paper proformas will not be released however, should  you wish to design your own, the content and format for all on-line datasets can be downloaded below.

We are aware that many trusts have their own systems for collecting data and normally provide exports of these which are then imported into the current database. In recognition of this we have provided the facility for data to be imported in "bulk” format. (File guidance and format for all datasets currently on-line can be downloaded below)

Data collection for the minimally invasive treatments audit should continue to be made using the paper proformas that can be downloaded below or in electronic format conforming to the downloadable specification and will transfer to the web-based database once an adequate assessment period has passed.

 Please return all data using the following secure e-mail address: sarahfowler2@nhs.net
