Data Use Register

The data use register is a summary of the research projects that have been given approval to use health data through the West Midlands Secure Data Environment.

It shows what researchers are doing with the data so patients and members of the public can feel confident it is only being used in the right way and for the right reasons.

It also helps researchers understand the type of health information the SDE holds.

Approved projects have been reviewed by our data trust committee (DTC) to ensure research using data through the West Midlands SDE is in the public interest and carried out in the right way. Exceptions to this are data projects that are supported under a different legal framework.

This data use register is currently in development and does not represent a full list of current or completed projects.
