The National Data Guardian for Health and Social Care in England provides guidance on the concept of ‘public benefit’ in the context of data sharing, informed by a formal dialogue with the public.

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.

This webinar by the British Heart Foundation Data Science Centre offers guidance on working with communication and public relations teams to reach diverse groups and highlights how effective dissemination can have an impact on policy.
