The Glasgow Safe Haven woks on hundreds of innovative, data-driven research projects since it was created over nearly a decade.

Our NHS datasets foster better care for patients in Glasgow and beyond. Projects include large-scale partnerships between NHS, academia and industry partners. We work to help students at the earliest stage of their research career, .

Projects

The Safe Haven provides a Secure Data Environment (SDE) to let researchers link their datasets to the health histories of NHS GGC patient populations. We have a delegated ethics route to approve projects. The service uses advanced anonymisation methods to preserve patient privacy. Data is hosted on a secure analytics platform provided in partnership with the Robertson Centre for Biostatistics.

If you have questions about our data services, see the Glasgow Safe Haven FAQ.

Datasets

Safe Haven data staff facilitate the import, description and secure re-use of novel NHS and research datasets from a wide-range of sources.

Datasets are tiered according to re-use permissions, with Tier 1 for general research use, Tier 2 for research use only with specific permissions from data owners, and Tier 3 for restricted or no re-use.

Our governance and security standards create a safe method to create new value from existing data sources.

If you have a Glasgow-centric dataset you may like to add to the Safe Haven’s collection, contact the Safe Haven team.
