Local data, at trust and ICB level is available in our Reports and Data section. This data can be used to drive local QI.
The NELA Team have run a series of quality-improvement themed webinars over the years. These range in topics from how to interrogate your own data, summaries of our annual reports, top tips from high performing sites, to the introduction of NoLap and many more. You can find a playlist of these videos on the Royal College of Anaesthetists' YouTube page here, or on the webinars page.

Without the commitment and enthusiasm of hospital NELA+ teams and Leads, NELA+ would not have achieved the high levels of case ascertainment, data completeness and innovative quality improvement initiatives that have improved care for patients undergoing emergency laparotomy. We are grateful to all who have worked to achieve this.
NELA+ has produced a draft job description for Local Clinical Leads that sets out expected roles and behaviours. This job description should be used to ensure NELA+ work is supported locally.
