Following the Goldacre Review and Data save lives strategy, Trusted Research Environments (TREs) and Secure Data Environments (SDEs) pose an exciting new opportunity for the digital health and technology industry, NHS, and academics to further partnerships and accelerate innovation.
This event will aim to provide both an introduction to TREs and SDEs, and a deep dive into ongoing work at Health Data Research UK (HDR UK), NHS England’s Transformation Directorate, and the Department for Health and Social Care.
