Welcome to the growing community of Gateway users accessing the UK’s unified platform to search, discover and request access to health data sets for research and innovation.
ELIXIR-UK is the UK node of ELIXIR, a life sciences research infrastructure that connects hundreds of organisations and scientists across Europe. We look forward to working together on a shared vision of supporting the research data community by providing them with the resources and services they need.
Celebrating five years of progress towards realising the transformative potential of health data
Health Data Research UK established the Digital Innovation Hub Programme in 2018 with a vision of realising the enormous potential of the UK’s health data for public and patient benefit. Five years later and this pioneering programme has reshaped the health data research landscape and created lasting impact.
The Health Data Research Hub Network (the Hubs), the UK Health Data Research Alliance (the Alliance) and the Health Data Research Innovation Gateway (the Gateway), underpinned by a robust patient and public involvement and engagement strategy and strong sector-wide partnerships, were key to the programme's success.

Alleviate are also sharing a series of stories from their patient and public members to recognise Pain Awareness Month, detailing their lived experience with pain and the reasons why they became involved in the Alleviate Hub. Read them on the Alleviate website throughout September.
