Improving Data Quality in the National Joint Registry

The National Joint Registry is calling all non-surgical staff in both the NHS and independent sector alike who are involved with the NJR – for example, from pre-assessment units, theatre, data entry, patient safety and clinical governance managers – to the next meeting in its programme of free-to-attend regional events.

As the NJR is a national mandatory audit, time can be requested from your managers to support your attendance as part of ongoing professional development training.

The free-to-attend event will take place in London on:
• Thursday 19 October 2017, 10am – 4pm
• Emmanuel Centre, 9-23 Marsham Street, London, SW1P 3DW

Regional event programme

The day will provide a unique networking opportunity for all those engaged with the NJR and involved in assuring data quality and patient safety. By attending the event, delegates will take away skills to demonstrate the highest possible standards of clinical governance that all hospitals strive to achieve.
