A review led by neurologist Cathie Sudlow has recommended streamlining access to the UK’s vast health data banks to boost biomedical research and improve lives. The UK has a large and deep health database that is used for patient care, equitable health delivery, and research. The report highlights the importance of making this data more accessible and efficient across the four UK nations. In addition to NHS data, other sources of health data should also be considered for research and innovation. Simplifying access to this valuable data could significantly advance medical research and contribute to improving healthcare outcomes.
