Research Publications
We advance health data science by funding research that uses data at scale and by enabling others in our community to do the same.
Our vision is that every patient, clinical trial, biomedical discovery and public health policy benefits from the use of large scale data and advanced analytics.
Research Impact Highlights
Each month, the HDR UK Impact Committee celebrates the most impactful outputs from across HDR UK and our contributors which demonstrate the value of our mission to unite the UK’s health data to enable discoveries that improve people’s lives.
Outputs are selected based on a set of defined criteria including research excellence, scale, team science, public and patient involvement, diversity and inclusivity, and more.
