Understanding Patient Data has compiled a summary of research and resources exploring public attitudes towards health data. Topics include trust in different organisations, opinions on decision-making, opt-out and choice, and how views differ among different groups of people.

These animations explain how patient data is used to improve healthcare while protecting confidentiality and privacy. This resource helps educate and reassure the public about the safe use of patient data.

Research Data Scotland have provided a simple explainer for Trusted Research Environments (TREs) to help improve the accessibility of complex topics with public audiences and help improve data literacy.
