National Dataset (Calendar Year 2020)

The BADS Directory of Procedures National Dataset is an annual collaboration between BADS and CHKS.

As with previous editions this up-dated version provides national outcomes for operations listed in the BADS Directory of Procedures, which are divided into three groups showing the 50th, 75th and 95th percentile performance, meaning that the top 5%, 25% and 50% of hospital trusts are achieving at least the cited proportion of these operations as a day case procedure.

In addition, information about potential day case opportunity is provided if the rate at each percentile were applied to all England. This demonstrates the significant gains for inpatient capacity, achieved by maximising day surgery performance.

This collaborative publication will be up-dated on an annual basis. Additional educational resource to assist trusts and providers in improving day surgery performance is available from the BADS website (www.bads.co.uk).
