UK DRI joins UK Health Data Research Alliance for best practice of use of heath data in research

We are pleased to announce that the UK DRI has joined the UK Health Data Research Alliance, an independent alliance of leading healthcare and research organisations united to establish best practice for the ethical use of UK health data for research at scale.

Convened by Health Data Research UK, the Alliance develops and co-ordinates the adoption of tools, techniques, conventions, technologies, and designs that help researchers to answer some of the most difficult questions and address the most important health challenges faced in the UK.

Funded and convened by Health Data Research UK (HDR UK), the members of the Alliance are committed to improving access to data across cohorts, biobanks, NHS trusts, national agencies and programmatic investments.

Prof Caleb Webber, UK DRI Director of Data Science, said:

“The UK Dementia Research Institute is thrilled to join the UK Health Data Research Alliance. The UK DRI is a data-driven institute, and joining the Alliance will support us in our goal to equip every researcher with the knowledge to interpret and exploit research data to its fullest potential. This collaboration will hugely help us on our quest to find new treatments and technology to tackle the challenge of dementia.”
