Summary

The National Prostate Cancer Audit (NPCA) measures the quality and outcomes of care for patients diagnosed with prostate cancer in NHS hospitals in England and Wales. It supports hospitals in the UK to improve the quality of the care received by patients.

Documentation

This is a national clinical audit assessing the quality of services and care provided to men with prostate cancer in England and Wales. The National Prostate Cancer Audit collects clinical information about the treatment of all patients newly diagnosed with prostate cancer in England and Wales and information about their outcomes.

The NPCA determines whether the care received by men is consistent with current recommended practice, such as those outlined in the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) Guidelines and Quality Standards as well as to provide information to support healthcare providers, commissioners and regulators in helping improve care for patients.
