Informing the national conversation about data and health We provide an independent and expert voice around analytics and data-driven technology, making sense of a rapidly evolving field

Across all of our work, and often working with others, we aim to shape the national conversation about data and technology.
We think that analytics and data-driven technology can and should create better health and care for all. Our published work draws on our data analytics expertise, and on our experience of working closely with the NHS and social care services, to inform national policy and strategy. We regularly share findings and insights through blogs, events, reports, and media commentary. We provide an independent and expert voice, and constructive challenge, making sense of a rapidly evolving field.
