Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD)

In 2024, we partnered with the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) to pilot an innovative approach to clinical trial recruitment. By combining our secure FARSITE platform with CPRD’s extensive dataset of over 18 million anonymised patient records, this initiative revolutionises the ways that participants are identified for clinical trials – making the process faster, more efficient and more inclusive.

Traditional recruitment methods can take weeks or even months, leading to delays and increased costs. This new model streamlines the process, helping researchers find diverse and representative participants quickly and securely. By leveraging real-world data at scale, this collaboration will enable faster access to innovative treatments and improve the efficiency of clinical research across the UK.

This partnership underscores our commitment to advancing healthcare innovation with the help of our networks, ensuring that cutting-edge treatments reach patients sooner while maintaining the highest standards of data security and integrity.

“At NWEH, we believe the power of partnership is turning research into real change - improving health for people and communities.”
