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.
National and International Registries
Registries are an invaluable source of data for research for the identification of national and international standards for outcomes, as well as enabling prospective audits for assessing professional performance, case mix, severity of illness and outcomes. Registries allow the collection of 'real world' data facilitating effective clinical governance and audit, allowing healthcare professionals to make informed decisions and improve patient outcomes.
The real world impact
Implementing a clinical registry will deliver a profound effect on your clinical practice, providing the means for you to better understand patient sub groups, their behaviour, disease progression and response to therapeutic intervention. Many of our clients use risk stratification models at the point of care to guide their clinical decision making.

- Saving and exporting graphs/tables in various formats (PDF, PNG, JPG, SVG and XLS) e.g. for reports, presentations.
This tool includes several modules to build different types of graphs, including:
- Distribution analysis (analysis by one field, e.g. age distribution)
- Cross-tabulation (analysis by two fields, e.g. age by gender)
- Multi-cohort analysis (graphs combining multiple cohorts)
- Run analysis

Automated E-Mailer PROMS module - at designated time intervals, the registry software can automatically send a secure personalised message to patients (who have provided their e-mail address and have consented to be followed up by e-mail) and they receive a PROMS questionnaire to complete on their smart-phones, iPads or computers anywhere in the world (provided they have Internet access) and the data returns automatically to the registry.
