The British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS), in conjunction with Dendrite Clinical Systems, published the First UK National Flap Registry (UKNFR) Report - first national registry of its type in the world to collect data on all major pedicled and free flap operations. The UKNFR, which was launched in August 2015, collects information on all major free and pedicled flap operations carried out in the UK. This cross-specialty registry is supported by the British Association of Head and Neck Oncologists (BAHNO), the British Association of Oral Maxillofacial Surgeons (BAOMS) and the Association of Breast Surgery (ABS) and the British Society for Surgery of the Hand (BSSH). The report includes 5,751 operation records from over 180 registered consultants from 97 private and NHS hospitals in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland (surgeons in Scotland are awaiting permission to join this project from the Public Benefit and Privacy Panel (PBPP) for Health and Social Care).
