Feedback and queries

This User Guide provides additional information to support the SACT ‘Requirement Specification’ and should also be used in conjunction with the SACT ‘data set v4.0’, the ‘Implementation Guide’ and ‘Technical Guidance’ documents.

The SACT team at NDRS are here to help and values feedback and suggestions for improvements to SACT data set and collection processes.

Our team provides tailored support to NHS Trusts with any issues around submitting data and to support improvements in data quality and completeness. If you would like to contact the team, then please speak to your regional Data Liaison Manager in the first instance and they will triage your request.

Feedback reports for the data submitted are available through the Cancer Stats website.

Please note that this platform requires an HSCN secure network connection. To ensure the best user experience, we encourage the use of modern web browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge to access the platform. A small number of platform users have reported issues when opening reports using Internet Explorer.

This provides feedback on the completion for some key data items across multiple data sets including:

• Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy (SACT)
• Radiotherapy (RTDS)
• Cancer Outcomes and Services Data set (COSD)
• Cancer Alliance Data, Evaluation and Analysis Service (CADEAS)
• access to population level Incidence, Mortality and Survival data
• Living With and Beyond Cancer (LWBC)
• Rapid Cancer Registration Data set (RCRD)

We would like to express thanks to all those who have participated and continue to provide support and guidance in the development of this information standard.
