How we use data
NHS DigiTrials makes sure patient information is shared and stored securely.
We take care to share only:
- the information that is relevant and lawful
- with approved researchers
- for trials that could benefit patient health and care
If patients are willing to share their information, more treatments and vaccines can be developed for people from every community. But everyone have the right to opt out.
