The Office for National Statistics (ONS) have created a toolkit of communication resources to help increase the public’s understanding of how data and statistics are used to benefit local communities.

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.

A toolkit from Data Saves Lives to equip patient groups and health influencers with the information and materials they need to have a positive dialogue with their communities about health data.
