Minutes:

Olly announced that he had taken on the role of REALM lead for YIC, and invited anyone who is interested to attend these meetings.

Urogram: Airedale and Harrogate have moved to doing the 50 second urogram protocol for haematuria. Calderdale and Huddersfield expressed an interest in this, however there is only one uro-radiologist there. So not sure how general radiologists would adapt to reporting these. Concern also about how they are coded so they can be identified as such.

TP Update: Both Calderdale and Harrogate have the equipment and rooms ready, waiting for appropriate training, Olly will sort this for them. YIC to put information out when the 2 centres go live. There will be a TP Biopsy workshop in September at the BSUR meeting. No CRIS code currently for TP Biopsy.

Dan Fascia gave an update on cross network reporting, he is expecting a 3 month delay due to the indexing of patient numbers.
