For those of you who have been following the development of the UK National Institute for Health Research’s (NIHR) Health Research Support Service (HRSS) through its Pilot phase and awaiting the delivery of the full service, the Department of Health’s (DoH) recent announcement about the launch of a new unit providing data, interventional research and general research services may have been surprising – it is not, however, a new/supplementary service or a duplication, but rather the Clinical Practice Research Datalink will take forward the work of the Research Capability Programme’s HRSS and combine this with the primary care database and services team at GPRD.
This detail can be found in the DoH document The Government plan for a secure data service: Strengthening the international competitiveness of UK life sciences research.
