Better, Broader, Safer: Using Health Data for Research and Analysis

In February 2021, Professor Ben Goldacre was commissioned by the UK Government to review how to improve safety and security in the use of health data for research and analysis. After a year of interviewing more the 300 people across the system, conducting open focus groups, and completing extensive desk research, the Review Better, Broader, Safer: Using Health Data for Research and Analysis was published on the 7^th of April 2022. The Review makes approximately 185 recommendations across 6 areas: NHS Service Analytics, Open Working, Privacy and Security, Trusted Research Environments, Information Governance, Ethics, and Participation, and Data Curation. In this webinar, hosted by OII DPhil and Goldacre Review co-author Jess Morley, Professor Goldacre will give an overview of the recommendations in each of these areas, explaining what problems the recommendations are trying to solve, and what the overall proposed approach to working with NHS data will achieve. There will then be an open Q&A.
