NHS DigiTrials Service
NHS DigiTrials is a service aimed to help clinical trials progress more easily at every stage, using data that NHS England already collects from health and care organisations across England. NHS DigiTrials offers a service that will make the data for trial follow-up available for linkage to clinical trial data, in one place, meaning better understanding of longer term outcomes of new treatments, improving healthcare across the country.
NHS DigiTrials is a relatively new service (started in 2019) powered by NHS Digital to support clinical trials, with the ultimate aim of improving NHS services and access to evidence based diagnostics, vaccines and treatments to improve the health of patients. It was developed and supported by a diverse panel, representing the voice of patients and the public. Whilst NHS DigiTrials is a new service, it has already supported over 72 research studies, sent around 23.8 million invitations, and helped recruit over 1.2 million study participants.
