Summary:

«In a piece for Digital Health, Andrew Davies, digital health lead at the Association of British HealthTech Industries (ABHI), explores why there is a need for greater data sharing across healthcare.«

«The Wade-Gery review published at the end of 2021 provided a top-level view of how the NHS could put ‘digital and data at the heart of transforming the NHS’. It highlighted that the lack of alignment in strategy and infrastructure ‘creates friction for the sharing of data’. This friction is felt acutely by commercial organisations trying to work with NHS data. Access to well curated and trusted health data is a vital resource for the Life Science industry to develop innovations that can save lives, manage the burden of disease and support the efficient use of health resources.»
