About Health Data Research UK (HDR UK)
Health Data Research UK (HDR UK) is the UK's national institute for health data science, based in London. An independent charity supported by nine funders, it brings together NHS, university, industry and charity partners to make health data easier to find and use safely for research. Patients and the public help shape its work.
Its five Research Driver Programmes build research-ready data assets spanning discovery, prevention, early diagnosis and treatment. Alongside this research, HDR UK develops data infrastructure and analytical approaches and trains health data scientists. Its work is distributed across 31 UK locations, connecting research teams with the data and tools needed to improve health and care.
Access to research data
The Health Data Research Gateway provides a common entry point for researchers to discover and request access to datasets, tools and resources. HDR UK also works on shared standards and information governance so that data can be used safely across organisational boundaries.
Developing health data skills
HDR UK Futures offers free online learning alongside workshops, webinars and seminars. Its wider training portfolio includes scholarships, apprenticeships, a four-year PhD programme and research fellowships, delivered with universities and research organisations across the four nations.
