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 and BOMSS launch updated National Bariatric Surgical Registry
Dendrite Clinical Systems and the British Obesity & Metabolic Surgery Society (BOMSS) have launched Version 2 of the National Bariatric Surgical Registry, which includes several enhancements and changes improving the data collected and reporting.
The NBSR dataset has been refined by the NBSR Committee to include only useful and important data (e.g. inclusion of HBA1c). For example, Version 2 now records all complications that might occur (Version 1 was limited to four) and also notes the severity of post-op complications using the Clavien-Dindo classification.
Regarding procedures and devices, the NBSR now has an updated the list of device descriptions to match the latest staplers on the market, accommodates newer procedures with a dedicated section for OAGB/MGB and takes into account the use of gastric balloons so that a subsequent first surgical procedure becomes a Primary Procedure and does not appear as a revision. Furthermore, there is a dedicated subset of paediatric questions, for those centres operating on younger patients, which only appears if the age at operation is below 18 years of age.
The new version has an incorporated Timeline offering a visual representation of surgical events and follow up in a time sequence and highlights key missing data, as well as displaying a Weight Loss hart on screen for each patient to view their timeline.
This latest version is html-5 compliant system, which will run on Safari (for a Mac, iPad or PC), Firefox, Chrome and the latest version of Internet Explorer (Version 10 and above).
In future, there will be a dedicated Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMS) section.
