Our data linkage programme
Find out how we’re linking NHS information and other external data to our study data to create more opportunities for researchers.
Our linked datasets bring together the information we’ve collected through our regular study surveys with administrative data collected by other organisations, such as the NHS and government departments. We also have a geographical linked data programme.
Linking different data sources like this gives a fuller picture of the lives of the people who take part in our studies and enables researchers to investigate a wider range of questions and in greater depth.
