Accessing NHS England Data and Services
Join the NHSE Data for R&D team for this interactive workshop:
"We want to have an open and honest discussion to understand the problems that you as BIA members are trying to solve. Please join us to provide your views and suggestions and have your say in how NHSE can support your research through access to NHS data. We will also provide an opportunity to learn more about the services we have to offer."
Hosted as a collaboration between BIA and NHSE, this is a unique opportunity to support us in improving the research and development agenda. This NHSE team work on key programmes such as the Secure Data Environment (SDE) network and Digitrials.
Contact Dr Emma Lawrence for more information or to express your interest in the event.
Please get in touch with Emma.

If you could invite any scientist or entrepreneur to dinner, who would it be and why?
Ada Lovelace, the godmother of computer programming because she was the first to recognise that a machine would have uses beyond calculations. We’d chat about maths and 19th-century gossip over cocktails.
BIA members only.
