Improving care and outcomes for people with cancer
Health data
We work with partners to make high quality health data more accessible for cancer researchers and health professionals in a range of sectors to help improve care and outcomes for people with cancer.
We work with patients and carers to make sure that data is used in a transparent and responsible way that benefits the NHS, patients and society. Patients are involved at all levels of our decision making processes.
We work with NHS England on the NHS Secure Data Environment, providing researchers with access to cancer data to help understand the impact of COVID-19 on cancer patients.
DATA-CAN is one of the Health Data Research Hubs funded through UK Research and Innovation’s Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund, and coordinated by Health Data Research UK.
