Breast and Cosmetic Implant Registry - January to December 2023, Management Information

In April 2024, the BCIR transitioned to the NHS England Outcomes and Registries Programme. From this date, BCIR data shall be captured through the Outcome Registries Platform. All historical BCIR data was migrated to the ORP at this time.

The NHS England Outcomes and Registries Programme was established in 2022 to develop a single, unified registry solution – the Outcome Registries Platform. The platform consolidates existing implantable device-level registries and implements new outcome registry data collections to address data and vigilance gaps, enabling the prevention of patient safety issues and adverse outcomes.

The programme builds upon an improved model for patient engagement and involvement, and maximise governance, clinical leadership, and specialty-specific data roadmaps to deliver patient-centred change.

In collaboration with the devolved administrations, the programme is also developing an approach to enable secure data sharing, system interoperability and UK-wide coverage, where it is appropriate to do so.

The ORP addresses the need for a more consistent approach to assure safety and satisfactory outcomes, and fulfils the recommendations of the Independent Medicine and Medical Device Safety Review (IMMDS) (2020) and Paterson Inquiry (2020).
