GMCA 1314 - North West Secure Data Environment

Description

NHS England is investing in the development of an interoperable NHS Research Secure Data Environment (SDE) Network across England. SDEs within the Network will enable approved researchers secure access to privacy protected NHS data. This will be underpinned by critical work related to information governance policy, commercial principles for data access by academic and industry partners, and public, patient, and professional involvement and engagement.\r NHS Research SDEs will support a range of research use cases (e.g.AI/algorithm development, clinical trials activities, real world studies, translational research, epidemiological studies, and health systems research). This will improve understanding of diseases, interventions, and pathways, which will translate to improved patient care locally and nationally and will contribute to delivery of the Life Sciences Vision and the NHS Long Term Plan.\r
