Using data from NHS information systems to support research and development
The Unit has considerable expertise in the use of data from routine NHS information systems to support research and development. This includes advanced statistical and computational methods for data analysis.
We support research through the West London Research Design Service.
We host primary care and public health postgraduate training with a regular throughput of F2 doctors, Academic Clinical Fellows, NIHR Clinical Lecturers and Specialist Trainees in Primary Care and Public Health.
The Unit which is led by Professor Azeem Majeed focuses on three areas of research:
- Primary care epidemiology and chronic disease management
- Health systems performance and health services research
- The use of information technology and health informatics to improve health system performance and public health
