The National Health Service Prostate Cancer Risk Management Programme (PCRMP) provides general practitioners and primary care professionals with information to counsel men who ask about prostate cancer and/or prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing. Men over 50 who decide to have a PSA test based on this information can do so for free on the NHS.<\/p>
The PCRMP information pack was revised and updated in March 2016 and is available at the following link:<\/p>
www.gov.uk/guidance/prostate-cancer-risk-management-programme-overview<\/a><\/p> The PCRMP has also produced information leaflets that healthcare professionals can use when discussing the test with eligible men, which are available at the following link.<\/p> www.gov.uk/government/collections/prostate-cancer-risk-management-programme-supporting-documents<\/a><\/p>"}

FCEs are counted against the year in which they end. Figures do not represent the number of different patients, as a person may have more than one episode of care within the same stay in hospital or in different stays in the same year.<\/p> 2 <\/sup>The number of episodes where the procedure (or intervention) was recorded in any of the 24 (12 from 2002-03 to 2006-07 and 4 prior to 2002-03) procedure fields in a HES record. A record is only included once in each count, even if the procedure is recorded in more than one procedure field of the record. It should be noted that more procedures are carried out than episodes with a main or secondary procedure. For example, patients undergoing a \u2018cataract operation\u2019 would tend to have at least two procedures \u2013 removal of the faulty lens and the fitting of a new one \u2013 counted in a single episode.<\/p> 3 <\/sup>Included in the codes are for both partial and total joint replacements as well as conversion and revision codes. The \u2018Conversion to\u2019 codes provided in this resolution (e.g. W40.2) are assigned when the procedure has converted to the specified type of joint replacement from a different type of joint replacement. Examples could include conversion to a cemented total shoulder replacement following previous partial shoulder replacement or conversion to a total shoulder replacement following a previous uncemented shoulder replacement. This principle would apply to all \u2018Conversion to\u2019 prosthetic joint procedures provided. The \u2018Conversion to\u2019 codes could be considered \u2018revisions\u2019 in clinical terms, and you may wish to include these codes in your data search.<\/p> 4 <\/sup>A range of OPCS codes covering knee replacements, hemiarthroplasty knees, unicomparmental knee replacements, hip replacements, hemiarthroplasty hips, shoulder replacements and hemiarthroplasty shoulder have been included.<\/p> 5 <\/sup>HES figures are available from 1989-90 onwards. Changes to the figures over time need to be interpreted in the context of improvements in data quality and coverage (particularly in earlier years), improvements in coverage of independent sector activity (particularly from 2006-07) and changes in National Health Service practice. For example, apparent reductions in activity may be due to a number of procedures which may now be undertaken in outpatient settings and so no longer include in admitted patient HES data. Conversely, apparent increases in activity may be due to improved recording of diagnosis or procedure information. It should be noted that HES include activity ending in the year in question and run from April to March, e.g. 2012-13 includes activity ending between 1 April 2012 and 31 March 2013.<\/p>"}
