From NCAPOP to British Society of Gastroenterology led IBD Registry

Published: 10 Feb 2017

The Inflammatory Bowel Disease National Clinical Audit Project comes to an end on 28 February 2017. Following numerous successful rounds of clinical audit which supported clinical teams to achieve significant improvement against NICE standards, NHS England and the Welsh Government took the decision to decommission IBD as part of the National Clinical Audit and Patient Outcomes Programme (NCAPOP), managed by HQIP.

Work continues outside of NCAPOP via the IBD Registry.

Quality accounts

NHS England reviewed the IBD Registry alongside other non-NCAPOP national audits and decided to include it on the NHS England quality accounts list for 2017/18.

Contractual and legal responsibilities of the IBD Registry rest within the British Society of Gastroenterology.
