Accessing the Dataset
We are pleased to announce that the Rapid Cancer Registrations Dataset is now available for request through the Office for Data Release (ODR).
Why make a request
This dataset should only be requested where the gold standard cancer registration data does not yet cover the period of activity of interest, and where the analytical question can be adequately answered despite the limitations of the data (please read the detailed data quality documentation).
How to make a request
The analytical questions most likely to be adequately answered using this dataset are healthcare resource utilisation queries regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.
Please read the available guidance document before completing and submitting a rapid cancer registration data dictionary alongside the usual ODR paperwork.
Please email ODR@phe.gov.uk for enquiries about accessing the dataset.
