The British Heart Foundation Data Science Centre is a partnership between Health Data Research UK (HDR UK) and the British Heart Foundation (BHF). We work closely with patients, the public, NHS organisations, researchers, and clinicians to promote the safe and ethical use of data for research into the causes, prevention and treatment of all diseases of the heart and circulation.

Our vision is to improve the public’s cardiovascular health through the power of large-scale data and advanced analytics across the UK. Funded by the BHF and embedded within HDR UK, the centre provides the leadership, co-ordination and engagement needed to deliver this vision, through building capability, capacity and infrastructure to drive excellence in data-enabled cardiovascular research.
