Data access
Clinical Practice Research Database (CPRD)
CPRD collates over 63 million anonymised patient records from a network of GP practices across the UK for use in approved medical research studies. The Norwich Epidemiology Centre holds a CPRD multi-study licence from April 2022- April 2025. We also hold a multi-study licence for linked Hospital Episode Statistics admitted patient care (HES APC) data and small area level data from April 2022- April 2024. More information on CPRD and linked data can be found at cprd.com.
More information on accessing CPRD data through the NEC multi-study licence and resources to guide the planning of a CPRD study can be found below.
