Sapphire Medical Clinics and Dendrite Clinical Systems have launched the UK Medical Cannabis Registry, an initiative that is designed to rapidly expand the evidence base for medical cannabis in the UK and decrease the cost of access for patients. The launch will collect and analyse clinical information on patients taking medical cannabis treatments for all recognised eligible conditions.
“I am very pleased to report that demand for the Dendrite Web-Registry platform has reached an all-time high” Dr Peter Walton, Managing Director of Dendrite Clinical System. “We’re receiving new orders for new national and international registries every few days now – for surgical registries, medical registries, rare disease registries, medical device registries and Coronavirus Registries (for a range of Community, National, International and Global Covid-19 Registries).”
Sapphire Medical Clinics and Dendrite Clinical Systems have established the UK’s first national UK’s first comprehensive medical cannabis patient registry - UK Medical Cannabis Registry. The UK Medical Cannabis Registry will be the first of its kind covering all conditions for which there is evidence of clinical efficacy of medical cannabis. The formation of the registry means that real world evidence, cited as a key barrier to wider patient prescriptions by NHS England, will now be available on request to the medical community for analysis.
The British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS), in conjunction with Dendrite Clinical Systems, is delighted to announce the release of the First UK National Flap Registry (UKNFR) Report. The UKNFR, which was launched in August 2015, collects information on all major free and pedicled flap operations carried out in the UK.
Dendrite Clinical Systems, the publisher of Bariatric News, has announced the publication of the Bariatric News Industry and Product Guide 2019 – a comprehensive A-Z guide to companies, products and services within the bariatric and metabolic specialty. 
Dendrite Clinical Systems, the publisher of Bariatric News, is pleased to announce issue 39 of the newspaper is now available to view/download. The newspaper reports on research, technology, events and policy in the bariatric specialty, the latest clinical studies, policy changes and product news, the latest meetings and events, interviews prominent bariatric experts, and host debates between specialists on controversial topics.
Dendrite’s clinical database utilised for Obesity Research Biobank Syndicate registry
Dendrite Clinical Systems in pleased to announce its clinical database system has been selected to collect, record and analyse data from the Obesity Research Biobank Syndicate (ORBiS) Registry. ORBiS is a network of multidisciplinary professionals working towards a common goal: to gain novel insights into obesity and weight management, and help translate these findings into improved patient care.
Led by University College London Centre for Obesity Research, this web-based registry aims to provide a comprehensive collection of high-quality patient data linked to biological samples to facilitate basic, clinical and translational research.
Patients under the care of specialist weight management services may be recruited, including those undergoing bariatric surgery and/or non-surgical weight loss interventions. With informed consent, clinical and research teams can upload data on individual patients to contribute to multicentre research.
Led by Professor Rachel Batterham and Miss Roxanna Zakeri, the ORBiS registry is supported by the National Institute for Health Research, University College Hospital NIHR Biomedical Research Centre and Sir Jules Thorn Charitable Trust.
“Obesity is one of the most serious chronic conditions facing the NHS and its associated co-morbidities – such as type 2 diabetes and cancer – are known to increase mortality and decrease patients’ quality of life,” said Dr Peter Walton, Dendrite Clinical Systems. “We look forward to working with the ORBIS collaborators to help them gain further insights and improve our understanding into the biomedical processes of obesity.”
