People and communities are at the heart of everything the NHS does.

Working together is critical if we are to build a Secure Data Environment that is trusted and works for everyone.

Our commitment

We will involve patients, the public, and health professionals in the design and governance of the Wessex Secure Data Environment.

Together we will set the values that guide it, the rules that govern it, and agree how it is run.  We will do this in line with best practice for community involvement and following the principles set out by the NHS in ‘Working in partnership with people and communities’.
