The enhanced Health Data Research Gateway is now live, featuring improved integration with the NHS Research Secure Data Environment Network.

The collaboration between NHS England and Health Data Research UK (HDR UK) is transforming how researchers:

• discover NHS datasets
• navigate data access
• track data use.

Hilary Fanning, Senior Responsible Owner, Data for Research and Development Programme at NHS England, said: “We know that supporting research is key to helping the NHS deliver better patient care and to supporting innovation and growth. Streamlined, secure access to NHS data will enable faster research so that patients can benefit from new treatments and improved care without delay.

“The launch of the improved HDR UK Gateway provides a single front door to NHS data for approved research purposes, enhancing discoverability and speeding up access for researchers.”
