The National Vascular Registry (NVR) is run the Vascular Society of Great Britain and Ireland and the Clinical Effectiveness Unit (CEU) of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. There a number of organisations that we work with:

HQIP’s aim is to promote quality improvement and is led by a consortium of the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, and the Royal College of Nursing. The Clinical Outcome Review Programmes, which encompasses confidential enquiries, are designed to help assess the quality of healthcare, and stimulate improvement in safety and effectiveness by systematically enabling clinicians, managers and policy makers to learn from adverse events and other relevant data.

- National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Death (NCEPOD), and in particular the report on lower limb amputation
