The National Disease Registration Service (NDRS) is part of NHS England Transformation Directorate, Data and Analytics. In partnership with other teams and groups within NHS England and beyond we provide the expertise to identify, collect, collate and quality-assure detailed and rich population-level datasets for specific diseases and conditions.

Raise and follow up queries with data notifiers to ensure that clinical information is complete, liaising with clinical and clerical staff at all levels.
• You will conduct longer-term data follow up to enhance completeness of records and include more outcome information.
