British Hernia Society Registry
BHS Registry: Transforming Hernia Surgery Together
The British Hernia Society Registry was launched at the 13th British Hernia Society conference on the 4th and 5th November 2024. This exciting new project aims to collect data on all elective and emergency hernia repairs across the UK in order to improve the quality of hernia surgery and its outcomes. It is now LIVE and we have already had many surgeons across the UK register and enter data.
We need your support in this project and look forward to making the registry a success over the next few years. Make sure your BHS membership, which is free, is up to date and ask your colleagues to join the society
What is the BHS Registry
For over 20 years in the UK and Ireland, there have been calls from patients, healthcare professionals, specialist societies and industry for a comprehensive hernia registry to continuously and consistently collect data on a national scale and evaluate meaningful outcomes to improve the quality of patient care. Over 100,000 hernia repairs are carried out in the UK and Ireland every year and there is strong support from the surgical community towards the establishment of a registry.
The registry will, permit large-scale, cost-effective embedded research, guide product development, track outcomes across a lifetime, and, therefore, improve patient safety.
