Health data

One of the Health Data Research UK hubs, we are a UK-wide partnership that is unlocking the power of health data to improve cancer care.
One in two people will develop cancer during their lifetime. A lot of health data about each and every one of us is collected, but this data is not always quick and easy for researchers to find, access and analyse. Our aim is to make high quality health data more accessible for cancer researchers and health professionals in the NHS, universities and the life sciences sector, to help them carry out research into new diagnostic tools and treatments to improve care and outcomes for people with cancer.

  • Data services
