Secure data environment for NHS health and social care data - policy guidelines

Secure data environment for NHS health and social care data - policy guidelines In Data saves lives: reshaping health and social care with data, we committed to implementing secure data environments as the default way to access NHS health and social care data for research and analysis. The strategy also sets out our intentions for the use of secure data environments to access NHS health and social care data through 12 clear guidelines. 

This publication provides additional background and detail for how we have developed those guidelines and their intended outcome. Department of Health and Social Care
