Data Access and Discovery Webinar - October 2023

Our October Data Access and Discovery webinar explored CPRD's world-leading research data service, with a focus on its new Ethnicity Records.

Delivered by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) is a world-leading research resource that has been empowering researchers with data-driven insights for more than 30 years. Its new Ethnicity Records are a step closer to more inclusive public health research and clinical practice.

We also introduced some of the wider work of the UK Health Data Research Alliance focussed on the challenges and opportunities in the use of data reporting ethnicity, including its Diversity in Data workstream, which brings together groups across the research community to discuss recommendations for improving the completeness, consistency and representativeness of routinely collected health and health-related data.

We were joined by Eleanor Axson (Senior Researcher at CPRD); Paola Quattroni (Head of Alliance Strategy and Engagement at HDR UK); Ashley Akbari (Associate Professor of Population Data Science Research at Swansea University); and Mike McMillan (Business Development Team Leader at CPRD).
