The Clinical and Research Informatics Unit (CRIU) at UCLH and UCL is excited to announce the launch of its new website.
Hosted on the BRC site, the CRIU pages offer a wealth of information to researchers, clinicians, students and our wider communities about current initiatives and key developments, including the latest news on our COVID-19 related projects.
The goal of this new microsite is to provide visitors with an easy way to learn about our activities and the informatics infrastructure supporting UCLH’s vision to become a data-driven research hospital.
Our website features specific sections on:
- Data Sources (highlighting CogStack, the natural language processing platform which facilitates retrieval and extraction of information from free-text documents using standardised terminologies)
- Data Explorer (DEX) (a portal designed to allow UCLH staff to formally request access to patient data)
- Data Infrastructure (provided by EMAP, a translational data science platform built in and for the NHS and created to support data science)
- Keytrials (a trials discovery platform underpinning Findastudy.uclh.nhs.uk)
- Research Impact (showcasing our highly-cited publications, national and international collaborations and cutting-edge research programmes)
- Your Data: an A-Z (reiterating our commitment to Information Governance and patient engagement in research)
- Study and Capacity Building and Careers pages.
