Collaborators

As of June 2022, we are working with 14 NHS hospitals. Where patients have provided their consent for their health records to be used for research, these Trusts are contributing diagnostic images and reports, pathology results and reports, prescribing data, commissioning datasets and outpatient and discharge letters to the Gut Reaction Hub.

NHS Digital is the national information and technology partner to the health and social care system, using digital technology to transform the NHS and social care. Gut Reaction has successfully applied to NHS Digital to link NHS commissioning data (Health Episode Statistics, or HES*) for participants. However there are strict controls on how these data can be used, and we will need permission from the NHS Digital Data Access Request Service (DARS) for each new use-case.

*Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) is a database containing details of all admissions, Emergency Department attendances and outpatient appointments at NHS hospitals in England. Initially these data are collected during a patient’s time at hospital as part of the Commissioning Dataset.
