We are an Alliance of leading health, care and research organisations united to accelerate progress in understanding causes of disease, public health, clinical trials and front line care by enabling widespread access to different modalities of data such as clinical, administrative, imaging and  genomic and other molecular data, at UK-wide scale.

In order to achieve this goal, the UK Alliance organisations will work collectively to: 

  • Bring together the research, clinical, and disease advocacy communities and the private sector to support and promote the responsible sharing of health data for research and innovation. 
  • Collaborate to create a versatile information platform that is open and accessible, and provides common standards, formats and tools to stakeholders in the health data research community.
  • Grow the Alliance, it is imperative that, over time, the UK Health Data Research Alliance grows to include as many custodians of data relevant to our research and innovation as possible. 

By becoming a member of the UK Health Data Research Alliance your organisation will benefit by: 

  • Actively shaping the design and delivery of a UK-wide federated health data research landscape
  • Being part of a single, powerful voice to address common barriers to the scale-up and adoption of health data research innovations
  • Retaining freedom to develop new products and services, with a focus on collaboration at the interfaces
