The National Vascular Registry (NVR) is a national clinical audit commissioned by the Health Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP) to measure the quality of care for patients undergoing vascular surgery in NHS hospitals. It was formed in January 2013 and is part of the National Clinical Audit and Patient Outcomes Programme (NCAPOP). These datasets contain the results published within the 2017 Annual Report relating to all NVR procedures for English NHS trusts, covering patients undergoing procedures up until the end of 2016.
