DataLoch is a data service that has been developed in partnership by the University of Edinburgh and NHS Lothian. Further NHS Boards and Local Authorities in South-East Scotland will join our partnership in the future to ensure the benefits of our work extend to the entire region.
Our approach will lead to better decision-making, research, and support for colleagues on the front line. We will do this by:
- bringing together health and social care data for the South-East Scotland region;
- working with experts in health and social care to understand and improve this data; and
- providing safe access to data for researchers.
