Cancer Treatment Summaries – Head and Neck Cancer (NHS Lothian)
Project Lead: Dr Ijeoma Azodo
An analytical project supporting the NDS team to understand what data is available against the IHDP-defined minimum clinical dataset for cancer treatment summaries in head and neck cancer. This will enable NDS to design and develop a service to support clinical care in this area in the future. This project with DataLoch will deliver an assessment of the data quality and data source. The next stage of comparative assessments of different data sources and then the service development will be follow-on projects.
