National Consultant Information Programme: Lower gastrointestinal surgery launch event

The National Consultant Information Programme (NCIP) is a portal providing data-driven insights for consultant surgeons working in the NHS, to support improvements in surgical practice. To date, NCIP has enrolled over 130 trusts onto the programme and has activated accounts for over 10,500 consultant surgeons across 11 surgical specialties. 

The lower gastrointestinal surgical specialty dashboards in the NCIP Portal has been developed by Charles Maxwell-Armstrong, our clinical lead for lower GI.  There are 35 dashboards across lower GI, and colorectal  live in the tool, with a range of long-term metrics to support high quality outcomes. 

This event, focussing on lower GI, will demonstrate how NCIP’s data for upper and lower GI surgical procedures can support consultant gastrointestinal surgeons and consultants who perform gastrointestinal surgical procedures in appraisal, revalidation, and quality improvement.  

The lower gastrointestinal surgery webinar will be hosted by Sir Norman Williams (Chair of NCIP) and Charles Maxwell-Armstrong, NCIP clinical lead for lower GI will explore the benefits of the NCIP portal for gastrointestinal surgeons.  We are delighted to be joined by Justin Davies, president elect for ACPGBI, consultant colorectal surgeon. We will also be joined by guest speakers who will discuss the benefits of using the NCIP portal and share how they have utilised NCIP within trusts. 

Over 600 of your colleagues have already logged in to view their surgical activity and outcome data.   We encourage you to review your own activity data now on  https://ncip.model.nhs.uk/

The joining link for the webinar will be sent by separate email nearer the event date.

For consultants working on upper GI surgery, a webinar focussing on upper GI surgery is scheduled for the 6th May.   To attend, please register here.
