The aim of the Scot BC Quality OPS clinical project is to create a reliable prospective data set for evaluating real-world effectiveness and efficiency consequent to standardisation and monitoring of bladder cancer treatment (through the national Quality Performance Indicator programme) and streamlined surveillance in Scotland. Several work packages have been created, reflecting wide clinical and research collaboration.
