1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Greater Manchester Care Record Inaugural Research Seminar

Online/Webinar

The event is open to all clinicians, researchers and NHS/University staff across Greater Manchester.

 

The Greater Manchester Care Record (GMCR) research platform provides GM researchers and clinicians, including those within the Manchester BRC, trustworthy, safely governed access to a wealth of deidentified data to support world-leading research.

The first studies launched using the GMCR have supported GM’s response to COVID-19, including understanding trends and risks to public health and those communities at highest risk, how the disease affects those with other health conditions, and preventing and controlling its spread.

This event will look at some of the successes of the GMCR’s first year and early study results, as well as how the GMCR will support further studies, both around COVID-19 and wider conditions. Among the speakers will be Manchester BRC’s Professor Niels Peek, Informatics & Data Sciences Cross-Cutting Theme Lead.
