How does the BPSU reporting scheme work?
Each month, an eReporting card (also previously known as the ‘orange card’) is sent to reporting clinicians asking if they have seen any cases from a list of conditions. If the clinician has not seen any patients with the listed conditions, the form will ask them to mark ‘nothing to report’.
If the clinician has notified us of any of the conditions currently under surveillance, the reporting clinician is sent a short questionnaire by the study investigator to collect further information about the case.
The system is based on an active surveillance methodology. So, it is important that reporting clinicians return the eReporting Card even if they do not have any cases to report.
Who receives the eReporting card?
If you are a consultant paediatrician or SAS doctor with your own case load working in the UK or Republic of Ireland, and do not already receive the BPSU eReporting cards, please complete this form.
