No simple choices: join our online panel discussion

How is health data used for research? What choices do researchers make when using patient data for their research?

And what impact do those choices have not only on the quality and reach of their research, but also on patient privacy and public trust? And, ultimately, on the healthcare provided for patients in the NHS?

At this free virtual event, researchers Professor Angela Wood, Dr Raj Jenner and Dr Ari Ecole will join patient advocate Rosanna Fennessy as they look at four real-life examples of local research where health data was used.

The panel will then explore the challenges and concerns that emerge from different types of data use – followed by a Q&A from the audience logging in online.

Join us virtually on Thursday 14 March 2024 from 5.30pm to 7.00pm. Book your free ticket today on Eventbrite.
