Intellectual InputThe intellectual input for NFORC will come from professional surgical societies. Their members, practicing surgeons, are best placed to identify research need, recruit patients and collect data within their surgical disciplines. These national organisations are dedicated to improving standards of treatment and care within their specialities and with NFORC have confirmed their commitment to making quality research an integral part of the surgical culture in the UK. |

NHS DigitalNHS Digital is the UK's national provider of information, data and IT systems for health and social care. NFORC is working with NHS Digital to develop national registers for head and neck conditions. This involves collecting valuable clinical information from tens of thousands of patients in hospitals throughout the country. This data can be used to identify trends and patterns in diseases, the long-term effectiveness of different treatments, and quality of patient care, ultimately improving care for patients with the same condition. |
