About

The increasing availability of routinely collected health data offers a wealth of opportunity to conduct timely research on extremely large samples of data. This theme focuses on the research opportunities offered by these data and aims to bring together a broad group of researchers, whose experience covers areas such as pharmacoepidemiology, chronic and infectious disease epidemiology, and health economics. Our interests cover all aspects of using routine data for research: from accessing, processing and linking routine datasets, to addressing research questions related to global health.

The types of data we work with include electronic health records from primary care, secondary care and mortality databases, nationwide and disease-specific registries, audit data, consumer purchase behaviour data, temperature data, and ordnance survey data sourced from a range of geographical settings, including but not limited to the UK, Hong Kong, Thailand, Denmark, Sweden, Canada and the United States.

For invitations to the Health Data Interest Group (HDIG) seminar series and to training related to routine data processing and management, please register your interest in the routine data theme when signing up to join the Centre.
