LWBC end of treatment dashboard

The Living with and Beyond Cancer (LWBC) suite of reports have been designed to support trust data collection teams, facilitate data improvement work and to enable clinicians and management boards to understand the quality of their submissions.

This dashboard helps trusts understand the number of EOTS reported through COSD and then cross reference this with their local MDT activity, to improve data quality and completeness. Shows counts of EOTS by NHSE regions, Alliances and Trusts and by Tumour groups and treatment type.

This work uses data that has been provided by patients and collected by the NHS as part of their care and support. The data is collated, maintained and quality assured by the National Disease Registration Service, which is part of NHS England (NHSE).

This dashboard is a data quality and completeness tool for End of Treatment Summaries (EOTS) sent to the patient and their GP in the reported month(s) (report covers period from October 2020 to the most recent month of Cancer Outcomes and Services Dataset (COSD) data submissions i.e. both COSD v9 and COSD v10 data). 

The purpose of the data in this dashboard is mainly ‘ascertainment’, enabling Cancer Alliances / trusts and teams to check for data completeness, accuracy, and timeliness of uploads to COSD, thus allowing them to rectify issues prior to formal extracts being run.

The dashboard can also be particularly useful for making rough comparisons between Cancer Alliances, trusts and teams. 

The Cancer Outcomes and Services Dataset (COSD) supports national cancer registration and associated analysis (at local, regional, national, and international level) in addition to other national cancer audit programmes. All NHS providers of cancer services in England have been required to provide a monthly return using this data set for all cancer diagnoses since January 2013.

These reports have been designed to support trust data collection teams, facilitate data improvement work and to enable clinicians and management boards to understand their COSD conformance and the quality of their submissions..

We intend this dashboard to be as useful as possible to the community and aim to improve them to meet user needs. Please send any feedback to nhsdigital.ndrsdatahub@nhs.net
