Bringing together clinicians and data scientists, we aim to make research easier for clinicians and allow them to reach new and larger groups of patients.

Project Mission

To revolutionize clinical research by harnessing routinely collected healthcare data to accelerate the discovery of new treatments. We aim to enhance patient outcomes by making clinical trials more inclusive, efficient, and accessible, empowering the NHS to reach diverse populations and deliver innovative care to those who need it most. Through collaboration and cutting-edge methodology, we seek to pave the way for a new era of patient-centred research that benefits all.

Testimonials

We are really proud to be supporting our fantastic colleagues in NHS General Practices across England, giving NHS staff and patients a much easier opportunity to get involved in health research.

Prof. Dipak Kotecha, Professor of Cardiology at the University of Birmingham, and a Consultant Cardiologist

It has been a great privilege to be involved with this trial, as a patient and public involvement lead, which will hopefully enable research findings to impact positively on patients' treatment needs.

Sandra Haynes MBE, Patient and Public Involvement Lead

DaRe2THINK is a new way of undertaking research to improve public health by working with GPs. Through screening of comprehensive health records of patients in the NHS, DaRe2THINK is able to identify patients to recruit to trials to improve their health, and the wider health of the nation.
