In 2020 me @brianmackenna published a detailed paper in @bmj_latest describing how hospital medicines data in England was largely impossible to access for public good.
Thousands of you engaged!

BING BONG NEW PAPER
NHS hospital medicines data is being collected, but then needlessly withheld from analysts.
This means patients are exposed to sub-optimal treatment. And NHS money is being wasted.
The barriers are NOT technical. They are "people".

OpenSAFELY for retail data? Nice mention for our work on @BBCr4today from @HenryDimbleby yesterday. We built @OpenSAFELY: the new, super-secure platform for the NHS for health data. Can you use our approach - just enough access - on retail data? Yes!

New study from @BennettOxford using @OpenSAFELY finds lockdowns didn't significantly change opioid prescribing, but disparities in care persist.
This near real-time data monitoring is vital for the NHS to make opioid use safer.

We built a lovely tool that turns raw NHS GP records into analysis-ready datasets. How can we trust that it's working properly? By building automated tests around it. Mini thread... bennett.ox.ac.uk/blog/2023/1…

BIG NEWS on @OpenSAFELY from us, @NHSEngland, and @DHSCgovuk
I’m delighted to say OpenSAFELY’s future is now secure as NHS England infrastructure, and we will cautiously expand to cover non-COVID research areas.
