Those wanting to access HQIP data

Healthcare data is essential to improve population health, accelerate medical research, plan efficient services, and manage health crises like pandemics.

By analysing aggregated, anonymised data, we can identify health inequalities, develop new treatments, and ensure resources are targeted effectively, ultimately saving lives and improving care quality.

Healthcare data is viewed as a gift by those considering access to it” Phil, public member of HQIP’s Data Access Request Group (DARG)

With this in mind, HQIP operates a data access process to enable others across the health and research sectors to utilise our data for wider public benefit, where appropriate. Central to this, are strict safeguards to maintain privacy, transparency and fairness in how the data is used. As custodians of this invaluable resource, here are just some of the reasons why we enable access, and deliver benefit to the general public:

Improved population health and care, supporting disease detection, diagnostic accuracy, and more effective, personalised treatments
Research and innovation, leading to new treatments as well as understanding of the effectiveness of new medications and the causes of diseases
Targeting inequalities, ensuring health resources and interventions reach those who need them most
System planning, ensuring that healthcare systems use resources and funding efficiently
Managing public health threats, enabling the development of strategies to protect the public.
