The Precision Medicine Programme
The precision medicine programme (PMP) has established an integrated health data platform, which provides a route to apply for access to research ready NHS patient data and a secure analysis environment.
The Barts Health Data Platform (BHDP) uses modern technology that complies with necessary data security and governance requirements required for patient data analysis. All projects using the data access service will follow GDPR and other legal and ethical responsibilities, protecting patient and public rights to confidentiality, fairness and equity.
Researchers will be able to find insights from the data they have been authorised to access where they can improve the outcome of patients and public in East London.
By offering an integrated data access service, Barts Health NHS Trust will be at the forefront of supporting data-led innovation around patient data, developing its role as a key player in the life sciences economy and improving patient health and wellbeing, reducing inequalities and improving patient care globally.
NHS Commercial Data Use Statement
The NHS may use health and operational data for approved commercial purposes where this supports the development of new treatments, medical technologies, healthcare services, and research that benefit patients and the wider public. Any commercial use of NHS data is subject to strict legal, ethical, and governance controls to protect patient confidentiality and privacy. Personal information is only shared when there is a lawful basis to do so, and wherever possible data is anonymised or de-identified before being used. The NHS is committed to ensuring that any commercial partnerships involving data deliver clear public value, maintain public trust, and comply with all applicable data protection regulations.
Where commercial activity results in the development of new intellectual property, products, or innovations, appropriate arrangements will be put in place to ensure that issues relating to intellectual property rights, royalties, and the fair return of value to the NHS and the public are considered and managed appropriately.
