The Wessex SDE is launching a pre-release platform to establish its secure technical infrastructure, built to the highest standards of safety and security of NHS data. During this phase we will finalise operational governance requirements with stakeholders and the public and undertake user testing.
The pre-release platform will be available to a selected group of approved researchers as ‘platform as a service’. To ensure appropriate use, researchers will be required to obtain suitable governance approvals, including NHS Health Research Authority consent or equivalent legal and ethical authorisations. Interim SDE governance and quality assurance is provided by the Data Access Committee at University Hospital Southampton.
The case studies here are examples of the types of research that could be accelerated through the SDE.
The Wessex SDE will only realise our ambition and the potential benefit of the SDE if we have the support, confidence and trust of our community.
We are committed openly sharing information, resources and further information about our SDE and the wider SDE Network.
