Dendrite Clinical Systems and the Society for Cardiothoracic Surgery in the UK are pleased to announce the SCTS Conference News 2022 newspaper is now available to view/download. The newspaper reports a multitude of presentations from the meeting including the latest and the best information on new technologies and techniques in cardio-thoracic surgery.
Researchers led by the Clinical Research Unit at the Special Unit for Biomedical Research and Education (SUBRE), Aristotle University of Thessaloniki School of Medicine, Greece, have initiated a randomised control trial (RCT) that will compare minimally invasive extracorporeal circulation (MiECC) with conventional cardiopulmonary bypass (cCPB).
Dendrite Clinical Systems, working in close cooperation with the SCTS and several cardiac centres, has developed a series of ‘Dashboards’ that allow users to access to their unit’s surgical outcomes and compare them to national results in real-time. By uploading their data to the central Dendrite National Cardiac Surgical Registry, individual units or centres can instantly benchmark their results via an on-line database for internal consumption to assist units with their own clinical governance and for auditing purposes.
Dendrite Clinical Systems is delighted to announce the first ever report from New Zealand’s Te Rēhita Mate Ūtaetae - Breast Cancer Foundation National Register. The ground-breaking report, titled, “30,000 voices: Informing a better future for breast cancer in New Zealand,” covers 30,000 patients diagnosed from 2003 to 2019.
The European Society for Organ Transplantation (ESOT) has signed an agreement to develop a series of web-based registries on organ 
6th National Audit Report - BAETS

I am very pleased to write the foreword to this Sixth BAETS National Audit Report, which is based on data from the United Kingdom Registry of Endocrine & Thyroid Surgery ( UKRETS ) database for the period July 2015 to June 2020, including a comparison of this period to earlier years.<br>
Sebastian Aspinall, as BAETS audit lead, has worked hard with Radu Mihai and Dendrite colleagues including Robin Kinsman and Peter Walton to present in a clear format the UKRETS data. I congratulate them on the excellent report they have produced.<br>
Sebastian Aspinall has led the development of individual thyroid dashboards that members can access, with parathyroid and adrenal dashboards to come, allowing surgeons to easily compare their operative numbers, outcomes, and complications to those of others. This is a significant step forward in supporting the aims of the database to allow us to understand our outcomes and complications, to drive up standards in endocrine surgery, and to be able to inform patients more realistically about the likelihood of particular complications occurring in individual practice.
BAETS continues to support best practice in endocrine surgery, through the thyroid and parathyroid masterclass, the new adrenal masterclass and through our annual scientific meeting and regular webinar series.<br>
The 2021 Endocrine GIRFT specialty report highlights the importance of surgeons participating in the UKRETS database.
