SAFEHR is a cross UCLH and UCL initiative to provide multimodal data extraction and access for hospital data for research.

About Us

SAFEHR (Secure Anonymised Fair Electronic Health Records, pronounced ‘safer’), is a research collaborative that brings together digital, data and technology teams from UCLH and UCL. 

We facilitate streamlined data access and extraction, particularly for multimodal datasets, bringing together imaging and structured data with free text.

We are supported in this by our patient and public Data Trust Committee, by UCLH’s EHRS teams, and by Advanced Research Computing (ARC) at UCL.
