ALT Quote card: “Urgent action is needed to unlock the power of NHS data to transform research. Professor Cathie Sudlow’s review rightly concludes that the health data research ecosystem isn't working, meaning patients and the public are missing out.
“We agree that a coordinated joint strategy is essential to help inform the development of a national health data service. Public confidence will be key to success, so we’re glad to see that the review highlights the importance of engagement with patients, the public and health professionals.
“We’re pleased to have contributed to this review and look forward to continuing to work with colleagues across the health sector to ensure that data-driven research can thrive.”

that the NHS can provide joined up and timely care. Our programme aims to make healthcare better for people with long term conditions by making sure hospital doctors, GPs and community services work more closely together. We're forming a group of people with first-hand experience to share
their thoughts and help inform the design and delivery of this service.
