INSIGHT
The Health Data Research Hub for Eye Health
Improving healthcare for the benefit of patients by enabling safe and trusted research access to anonymised data
What is INSIGHT?
We are an NHS-led initiative set up to make routinely collected eye data available for approved health research. Our aim is to improve healthcare by making it simpler for researchers to use large, anonymised sets of patient data in a safe and ethical way.
INSIGHT is led by Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust working in partnership with University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust. INSIGHT is built around our 'North Star' – a guiding principle for delivering benefit to patients and wider society through improving safe, efficient and ethical access to eye health data for research.
