About the British Spine Registry
Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) are a method of measuring and comparing patients’ physical progress and well-being, as well as their quality of life, before and after clinical intervention. Patient experiences are important, just as important as the outcome of the intervention. Consultants are able to report on the data collected within the British Spine Registry system and use this towards appraisals and revalidation. This demonstrates the quality of their treatment as well as following patient recovery far into the future, keeping the patient and their wellbeing top priority.
All healthcare processes abide by the Data Protection Act and your Consultant is registered with the ICO (Information Commissioners Office) as a data controller. Your data is completely secure and will only be shared with Clinicians involved in your care.
Why be a part of it?
By inputting your progress in your Consultant’s British Spine Registry system you are not only helping them by giving them the ability to report on all of their patient’s, but you are also helping other patients with similar conditions in the future.
PROMs are a way for you, your Surgeon and other healthcare professionals to monitor your symptoms and any change in your quality of life.
A note to patients from their Consultant
Your experience as my patient and the outcome of your treatment is important to me. It is also important that I can demonstrate the quality of my practice to others.
The British Spine Registry (BSR) is a web-based database for the collection of information about Spinal Surgery in the UK. I am using the BSR system to record and report on the progress of my patients and I would like to be able to add you to the Registry, so that I can monitor not just your progress but that of all my patients as a group.
Details of your spinal diagnosis, operation and complications will be recorded. Your personal details such as your name, address, DOB, NHS number, phone number and e-mail address are entered with your consent. Other surgeons involved in your care will have access to this should it be required, e.g. you move to a different part of the country. Your details will never be shared with any other third party or used for anything other than anonymised research and data analysis.
Your first questionnaire should be completed before any intervention by me or my clinical team. After your treatment you will be e-mailed to complete the same questionnaire at different time intervals. This could be as much as 5 years after you completed your treatment.
It is really important that you complete these questionnaires as far into the future as you are asked as this allows us to monitor your progress even after you have been discharged. Someone can help you to fill in the questionnaires but it is really important that the information is from you.
