We’re excited to be attending the Birmingham Rare Disease Research Showcase on Tuesday 14^th July to celebrate rare disease research across the West Midlands!

Rare diseases may each affect a small number of people, but collectively they have a significant impact on individuals, families, and healthcare services. Events like this are a great opportunity to bring together researchers, clinicians, patients, and industry partners to strengthen collaboration and accelerate progress.

We’re looking forward to hearing from leading experts, learning about the latest advances in rare disease research, supporting early career researchers, and connecting with others who are passionate about improving outcomes for people living with rare conditions.

If you’re attending, be sure to come and say hello! The West Midlands SDE team will be there throughout the day, and we’d love to chat about what we do, how we’re supporting health and care research across the region, and how we can help enable data-driven research through secure access to linked health data.

We look forward to seeing you there!
