Empowering Public Involvement

By British Heart Foundation Data Science Centre (BHF Data Science Centre)

Empowering public involvement: CVD-COVID-IMPACT Approvals and Oversight Board is a case study focused on the impact public contributors have had supporting the approvals process to access data held within a secure data environment (SDE).

It is designed for everyone, offering insights into the application of public involvement in SDEs and how it can impact and improve health data research.

The resource aims to showcase the practical applications of public involvement within the BHF Data Science Centre CVD-COVID-IMPACT Approvals and Oversights Board and provides testimonial from the public members involved.

This is a useful resource to help understand how the public can be included in SDE processes and the positive impact this can have. Supporting PEDRI’s Good Practice Standard 7: Creating a culture of involvement and engagement.
