Using data for research
A new way to provide safer, more secure and faster access to NHS data for research is being developed in the East Midlands. Part of a network of platforms covering England, the East Midlands Secure Data Environment will support approved life-saving and life-changing research.
How does your data help new breakthroughs in healthcare?
Data is vital to our treatment and care as a patient. Accurate, up to date and relevant data is also vital for research into new treatments. All of the drugs, treatments and medical technology we rely on in the NHS today are only available because data from people just like you was able to be used for research.
