Driver Programme: Introducing Inflammation and Immunity
9 Nov 2023

Thursday 9th November 2023 / 14:00 - 15:00 / online

Our mission is to create ‘data foundations’ that will facilitate health care innovation using data across the whole UK population and transform our understanding of inflammation-mediated conditions.

The UK’s health data landscape is a vibrant resource brimming with potential. However, it remains a challenging environment for research. The process of locating, accessing, cleaning, curating, linking and utilising data Electronic Health Records (EHRs) is complex and time-consuming, often limiting or delaying the improvement of treatments and health outcomes.

We will present work previously delivered by the BREATHE Health Data Research Hub and NIHR Imperial Biomedical Research Centre to streamline these challenging processes and develop gold standard, clinically-validated datasets across the 4 UK nations for common respiratory conditions.

Our aim is to develop these resources and re-apply our learning to curate a range of ‘research ready’ datasets that link together relevant primary, secondary and specialist care data.

Get involved and ask us questions to identify opportunities for interdisciplinary and inter-sector collaboration.

This event will be hosted by the Usher Institute, The University of Edinburgh and will be recorded. This webinar is open to all, but will be of particular interest to researchers, analysts and other professionals who work with health data. Agenda to follow.
