West Midlands Cancer Registry and eMDT

This page tracks the West Midlands / University Hospitals Birmingham cancer registry and multidisciplinary-team example from the official InterSystems UK evidence set.

Official InterSystems Claim

InterSystems says West Midlands health and social care providers started integrating cancer registry data into InterSystems HealthShare. The page names University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust as leading the project and says testing was underway across 15 West Midlands sites.

Product / Service

HealthShare.

Evidence Status

Confidence is moderate. The HealthShare claim remains vendor-published, and Birmingham and Solihull ICS separately lists a West Midlands Cancer Alliance eMDT project to enable information sharing for cancer treatment decisions, but the local page does not by itself validate the InterSystems HealthShare component.

An independent Digital Health report corroborates the HealthShare/cancer-registry narrative, names UHB project leadership, describes testing across 15 sites, and includes a UHB quote. This strengthens the external evidence trail, but it is still not an official UHB or West Midlands Cancer Alliance source.

The 2026-06-18 follow-up search found no stronger public UHB or West Midlands Cancer Alliance source naming InterSystems HealthShare for this project. The remaining gap is an official customer/programme-source gap.

See Birmingham and West Midlands Validation for the broader regional shared-care-record and standards evidence trail.

Remaining Follow-up Evidence

  • UHB source explicitly naming HealthShare in the cancer registry or eMDT project.
  • West Midlands Cancer Alliance source confirming supplier, scope, and current status.
  • Affected trust publications or board papers.
  • Current live-status and outcome evidence for MDT workflow support.
