Do you still use this programme?
Did you know that there is a UK wide cancer information service tool where you can obtain up-to-date cancer information statistics for your geographic area? It's web-based which means no more loading of software onto computers and it contains information that you might usually obtain from the West Midlands CIS! You can find the UKCIS here:
http://nww.ncis.nhs.uk
You can also get other useful cancer information from the National Cancer Intelligence Network:
http://www.ncin.org.uk/analysis/ncis.shtml
Because the UKCIS exists, it's time you transferred onto this system, which will benefit from future updates, and allow you to compare your area against others, not just in the West Midlands.
In order to save duplication, we will be switching off the West Midlands CIS on FRIDAY 29th OCTOBER 2010.
If you are an existing West Midlands CIS user and want to have access to cancer information after this date, please email Tim Evans who will be glad to arrange transferral to the new system - it takes minutes to do.
If you are a new CIS user, you will need to complete an authorisation form and have it signed by your organisation's Lead Cancer Clinician and Caldicott Guardian. The authorisation form (available in MS Word or PDF formats) should be completed in full and sent to the WMCIU by post or fax and appropriate access will be arranged. |
