Pelvic Floor Registry Implementation Group

Overview

The Scottish Government is working with the UK Government, the other devolved administrations and with NHS England in order to establish a UK-wide medical devices information system. The aim is to collect information which will allow for better quality assurance, comparison and peer review. 

As an initial step, NHS Digital is developing a Pelvic Floor Registry which, on a UK-wide basis, will collect information on surgical operations for stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse including where a transvaginal mesh implant as a medical device is used.  

The Scottish Government has therefore established a pilot Pelvic Floor Registry Implementation Group, which will support a short pilot in four territorial Health Boards in Scotland. The Group is a subgroup of the Transvaginal Mesh Short Life Working Group.

Information for patients concerning the Pelvic Floor Registry is available.

Members of the group and all those attending a meeting must complete a declaration of interests form. At the beginning of each meeting declared interests will be confirmed verbally and recorded along with declared changes in the minute.
