National Joint Registry (NJR) Annual Report 2022
We produce this Annual Report, summarising our work and sharing the analysis of data for the past year, visually in tables and graphs, for procedures across each of the joints, as well as implant and hospital outcomes. Our report this year also has a special feature on the considerations around how PROMs outcome data might be incorporated with NJR routine data to include the very valuable patients perspective on the success of joint replacement outcomes. The report also includes some short excerpts which showcase the value of our rich data pool in contributing to NJR’s supported orthopaedic research activity.

Richard Driscoll Memorial Award epilepsy case study
This Richard Driscoll Memorial Award (RDMA) winning entry highlights the Epilepsy12 Audit’s approach to working with children and young people to improve paediatric epilepsy care. The audit was recognised by judges for this work and named our RDMA 2022 winner.
“As youth advocates we have made a difference by sharing our knowledge of epilepsy through our school experiences.”

New resource: Creating and linking health datasets
In this recorded presentation, our Associate Director Yvonne Silove talks through our datasets and our data access process as well as highlighting top tips and common pitfalls in applying for data. We also now have an additional resource in the form of a leaflet, co-produced between Yvonne and the Health Foundation, which has been added to our Data access requests page, sharing top tips for using linked health datasets in research.
