Consultancies are provided for ENCR members who wish to discuss a particular
area of their registries operation (data collection, management, quality control, analysis, etc.) with an expert in the field.
The ENCR steering committee may also suggest such a visit to a registry. Suitable consultants are selected in discussion with
the registry concerned. After the visit they prepare a written report and recommendations, circulated to both the Steering Committee
and the registry.  Requests for a consultancy may be sent to ENCR secretariat in Lyon, giving the contact address and a short description of the problem to be resolved. The costs for the consultant are covered by ENCR. Click here to see Past consultancies |
| The fundamental purpose of the Structured Review process is to evaluate
a registry's performance, and to identify positive and negative aspects of a registry's procedures and outputs, taking account
of available resources. A Working Group was established by the ENCR Steering Committee to prepare the framework of the review procedure. The Working Group met in March 2000 to produce a background document and a draft questionnaire to be completed in advance by the registry to be reviewed. A pilot review was then carried out of the Regional Cancer Registry of the Comprehensive Cancer Centre North Netherlands (CCCNN) in Groningen. A summary of the report prepared after the CCCNN review can be downloaded here. Click here to see Past reviews |

Registries that want to be reviewed should send a request to the ENCR Secretariat. More detail on
the procedure will then be provided. The team (two people) will be selected by the Steering Committee/Secretariat and will spend 1½ - 2 days
in the registry. A review report will be prepared. The costs for the structured review - travel and per diem for the review team - would normally be the responsibility of the cancer registry. |
