NBSR Register
February 2012

The NBSR report published in April 2011 demonstrated safety of surgery in  more than 8,000 patients in the UK with low complication rates.  The one- and two-year follow up data showed impressive improvement in obesity-related disease.  At the NBSR Workshop session at the BOMSS 2012 Annual Scientific Meeting in Bristol, Mr Richard Welbourn highlighted the results and presented to the membership work in progress for discussion as the Registry evolves.  Members who wish to be involved should send expressions of interest to Mr Alberic Fiennes, Chair of the NBSR Committee via Harriet Innes at the BOMSS office, email: harriet@augis.org

The National Bariatric Surgery Register report published in April 2011 is the first comprehensive, prospective, nationwide analysis of outcomes from bariatric surgery in the United Kingdom and Ireland. It contains pooled national outcome data for bariatric and metabolic surgery in the United Kingdom. Eighty four surgeons and their teams working at 86 hospitals contributed data on patients treated up to March 2010.
