Cancer Outcomes and Services Dataset (COSD) Update: August 2011
15 August 2011
What is the COSD?
The COSD will be the new national standard for reporting cancer in the NHS in England. It will replace the current National Cancer Dataset and will include the Cancer Registration dataset and additional site specific data items relevant to the different tumour types. It will be aligned with existing national cancer datasets (Cancer Waits and Radiotherapy) and with the Systemic Anti Cancer Therapy dataset (SACT), currently in development.
Further information
The project management and running of the COSD project has now transferred from the NHSIC to the NCIN as explained in the joint NHSIC/NCIN position statement on the NCIN website.
