It is a tool/resource designed to assist healthcare service providers in planning their audit activity each year. It is refreshed regularly and includes:
- NCAPOP projects (commissioned by HQIP) – including links to dynamic reporting resources
- Projects included in the NHS England Quality Accounts List (and operated by other organisations)
- Other national quality improvement projects operated by other organisations.

National Joint Registry 20th annual report
The National Joint Registry (NJR) has released its annual report. This year 2023-24, the NJR celebrates its 20th anniversary. The NJR began capturing hip and knee data in 2003 across England and Wales, and expanded to incorporate ankle, elbow and shoulder joints and the geographic areas of Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man and Guernsey. Representing a great number of patients, the NJR now has over 3.7 million records and is the largest orthopaedic registry in the world.

National Joint Registry at British Orthopaedic Association Congress
Liverpool, September 2023
Deirdra Taylor, National Joint Registry (NJR)
“Each year the NJR launches our Annual Report at the British Orthopaedic Association (BOA) Congress event, which is attended by over 2,000 surgeon members. This year the programme was created around the theme of Sustainable Systems, with three days of lectures, debates and discussions, demonstrations and exhibition features. Our report is always launched within our own scheduled 90-minute plenary programme of NJR presentations, this year on day two, which addresses key areas of our work each year, as well as the highlights and key messages of the report”
