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.
The East Midlands Secure Data Environment (SDE) is part of the national network of data storage and access platforms being set up in England.
The SDE for the East Midlands meets the highest standards of privacy and security to keep NHS health and social care data safe, when it is being used for research and analysis.
We are working closely with Data Providers in NHS and social care services to develop the pipeline of data which will be made available for approved research.
