Introduction
The purpose of the National Prostate Cancer Audit (NPCA) is to evaluate the patterns of care and outcomes for people diagnosed with prostate cancer in England and Wales and to support services to improve the quality of care for these patients.
The NPCA interactive dashboard was developed during 2024, following a successful pilot project by the National Lung Cancer Audit (NLCA).
The dashboard is subject to ongoing iterative development and we therefore welcome suggestions and feedback, which can help guide changes made in future releases.
A second phase of development is underway, during which we will seek feedback more broadly, consulting with a wide range of stakeholders, including PPI representatives, to ensure the dashboards continue to meet the needs of our end users.
From 10th July onwards, there is a possibility to download a summary report of a Trust’s data across all metrics, with graphs, to enable data sharing more easily in either pdf or ppt format.
