The Y&H SDE is a secure NHS data storage and access system. It brings together healthcare data in one place, and allows researchers and innovators to use it safely for their work.
Our SDE provides a chance to completely transform the Yorkshire and Humber region by creating infrastructure for storing data and allowing secure access to it, while maintaining the highest standards of NHS data confidentiality.
Check out the different datasets available within our Secure Data Environment (Yorkshire & Humber SDE) for your research. If you’re interested in accessing any of these datasets, please contact us.
The Y&H SDE adheres to legal frameworks and follows best practices to ensure safe and proper use of the data we store and manage. This involves complying with codes of practice under the Data Protection Act 2018, national standards, transparency notices, the “Five Safes” framework for data security, and implementing measures like data access controls, de-identification, and secure data environment guidelines.
Last week 25 members of the public from across the region worked together to develop recommendations that will directly inform secure data environment decision-makers.
The Yorkshire and Humber Secure Data Environment (SDE), alongside two partner SDEs in the North of England, is proud to be part of this groundbreaking initiative called PANORAMA: Pan-North Data Research Advancements for Multi-Domain Access and Analysis.
The Yorkshire and Humber Secure Data Environment is looking for people from Yorkshire & Humber to apply to be part of their Citizens’ Jury and help the NHS to determine how NHS data can safely improve healthcare research.
