Regional Lead in authorship) and form a regional collaborators network.
A Regional Lead may also wish to act as a local lead trainee to lead a data collection team.

This should be a consultant Gastroenterologist, HPB or Upper GI Surgeon. The Local Consultant will be responsible for:

Being the named consultant for any local registration processes
Being a permanent point of contact for the audit
Defining roles of individuals within the team locally

Recruiting and managing local data collection team
Data collection completeness as supported by study data validation process
Custodian of the Unit-specific REDCap login
Local RICOCHET audit registration in keeping with local procedure

Data Collection Team Members

Each unit will need a team to collect the data, which should consist of the following:

Local Lead trainee and consultant (n=2)
± Doctor / medical student data collectors (n=0-2, or 0-5 in tertiary units)
± 1 non-doctor team member (e.g. clinical nurse specialist / MDT co-ordinator etc.) who has
played an invaluable role in case identification / data collection.

The Data Collection Team will be responsible for ensuring complete patient recruitment and upload of >95% data points to REDCap for each patient.

Where there are two individuals from both Gastroenterology and HPB/UGI/General Surgery who would both like to take on a lead role - dual leadership is encouraged.

All collaborators will be acknowledged according to their input to the study.
