The art of the possible: data at the heart of research and innovation

High-quality data is transforming how research, innovation and service design happen across the NHS. This session explores how organisations are using analytics, registries and real-world evidence to redesign care pathways, enable virtual wards and build research-ready data environments. From OMOP and synthetic data to national registries and standardisation, speakers will examine how to unlock the full value of routinely collected data – while addressing barriers around permissions, trust and collaboration with industry.
