NCDA overview
The National Cancer Diagnosis Audit (NCDA) provides new insights to support quality and service improvement activities to help to diagnose cancers earlier.
What are the benefits?
The NCDA is primarily a quality improvement initiative focused on cancer diagnosis in primary care. As such there are many benefits for GPs and GP practices.
How to do the NCDA
GPs register with the audit and submit data about the primary care portion of the patient pathway. This is then analysed and fed back to each practice.
NCDA Feedback
Tailored, confidential feedback reports are intended to help practices reflect on their clinical practice and service delivery in cancer and early diagnosis.
NCDA Key findings
The NCDA data provides unique insights into patient pathways to cancer diagnosis, highlighting good practice and identifying areas for quality improvement
Information for Patients
The audit uses data from patients collected as part of their routine care to better understand how cancers are diagnosed.
The National Cancer Diagnosis Audit (NCDA) is a partnership project led by Cancer Research UK and Public Health England (specifically the National Cancer Registration and Analysis Service), in collaboration with NHS England, NHS Scotland, Public Health Wales (specifically the Welsh Cancer Intelligence and Surveillance Unit), the RCGP and Macmillan Cancer Support.
