NVR 2026 Annual Report – out now
The 2026 NVR State of the Nation Report has been published today on our website. This report focuses on all NVR procedures that were carried out between 2023 and 2025.
The webpage includes:
- The report itself, both in PDF and HTML format
- Supplementary tables and results that underpin the main report
- A spreadsheet containing unit level appendices for each procedure
- The infographic pages to accompany the 2026 reports.
- An update to the NVR dashboards that contain the key results for each procedure, broken down by each unit within the UK, in comparison to UK and individual nation averages.
We don’t publish consultant level results for elective infra-renal AAA repairs and carotid endarterectomies in the public domain anymore. However, we will send you your individual results directly by email over the next few weeks so you can retain them for appraisal and revalidation purposes. We are also going to send emails to consultant interventional radiologists, detailing the procedures you have on the NVR

NVR Datasets and IT System
We are doing the final round of testing on a few changes to the NVR datasets. The changes include:
- Removing COVID-19 fields
- Removing contralateral carotid procedure questions
- Removing why not vein for bypass
- Adding below the knee vessels for angioplasty
- Adding ability to record ipsilateral carotid re-interventions in greater detail
- Adding ability to record devices used in carotid procedures (shunts, patches, stents, cerebral protection devices)
- Adding medication on discharge
- Making aortic device recording mandatory for English hospitals
The updated proformas, data dictionary and bulk upload templates will be made available soon.
