Understanding Patient Data commissioned research to find out what the public believes makes a fair health data partnership between the NHS, researchers, charities and industry.

Health Data Research UK commissioned this review to collate existing literature on public attitudes towards the collection and use of their health data across the UK.

This resource summarises public attitudes toward the use of patient data, based on research studies from 2010 to the present. It highlights key themes, such as support for using anonymised data for health research if there is public benefit, and concerns about industry using the data.
