Real-world evidence

The UK’s cradle-to-grave primary care data is a rich resource for evaluating the real-world impact of interventions. But researchers often face delays and navigate complex agreements to access the data they need — slowing insights into whether treatments help or, in some cases, do harm. 

Accelerate your research with rapid data access 

With our Recruit solution, we’re helping you avoid these delays and remove the complexity, by enabling secure, compliant access to primary care data for robust evidence generation.  

Recruit is gaining momentum across our network of more than 3,700 practices. When your study is listed in Recruit, participating practices can choose to share de-identified patient records in just a few simple clicks.  

We help you with all the governance and agreements, so you can immediately access the data you need through our Explorer platform. Explorer provides secure longitudinal, de-identified patient health records for your approved purpose. Data is updated every 12 hours — saving time and reducing complexity.  

Our solution can be used to support observational studies, interventional trials and real-world evidence research, all in line with UK GDPR, DPA 2018, NHS Digital governance and DSA requirements. 

With fast access to high-quality GP data via Recruit, we support you to move from concept to evidence quickly, improving research precision.
