Understanding Patient Data explain secure data environments, their benefits and drawback, and examples of their use, as well as an animation.

DATAMIND and The McPin Foundation created this course to help people understand how the NHS uses and stores health data, including patient rights, how researchers use data, and the risks and benefits. It’s especially useful for those who have used NHS mental health services.

This animation from the UK Data Service describes the principles of the Five Safes. The Five Safes framework helps researchers use personal data carefully while keeping people’s information safe.
