Patient outcomes

As part of aim to maximise good outcome and improve patient care, we collect clinical information from all patients undergoing procedures. This information will be collected prior to the procedure and at various time-points after the procedure. The information is entered into The British Spine Registry (BSR).

The British Spine Registry (BSR) is a web-based database for the collection of information about spinal surgery in the UK.  It was established in May 2012 with the aim to improve patient safety and monitor the results of spinal surgery. The electronic and mostly automated system enables Spinal Consultants to collect a wide remit of data on their patients for relatively little time or effort, making the registry one of the most successful platforms capturing clinical outcomes data in the UK.

The BSR is managed by BASS, the British Association for Spine Surgeons, whose aim is to improve spinal care throughout the UK by encouraging research, audit and good clinical practice.   It also aims to educate patients about spinal problems, the available treatments, expectations and quality of life.

We would be very grateful if you would consent for your data to be submitted to the BSR. You will be given access to the registry on-line via the BSR Patient Portal for this purpose.
