Cancer Outcomes and Services Data Set (COSD)

7 May 20: After discussions with the Private Healthcare Information Network (PHIN), Public Health England has produced a “lite” version of  COSD, aimed primarily at first time submitters of the data among private providers of cancer services. This is in direct response to COVID-19 and the consequential restrictions on NHS organisations, including their ability to care for and treat cancer patients, leading to more demand on our private providers.

Enquiries about this can be sent to the COSD helpdesk: COSD@phe.gov.uk

14 Apr 20: 3-month delay to implementation of version 9.0, so that full conformance is now 1 September (November’s data upload). Subject to ongoing review.

Devices: Trusts must submit where they have experienced excessive high cost tariff excluded device usage.
