BIG NEWS on OpenSAFELY from us, NHS England, and Department of Health and Social Care I’m delighted to say OpenSAFELY’s future is now secure as NHS England infrastructure, and we will cautiously expand to cover non-COVID research areas. THREAD! bennett.ox.ac.uk/blog/2023/11/t…

This was an incredibly tall order, in a very difficult space. You can read about our early days here, featuring incredibly close collaboration alongside TPP, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine EHR team, @EMISHealth, NHS England and many more. Great friends and allies all! bennett.ox.ac.uk/blog/2021/05/o…

We built a lovely tool that turns raw NHS GP records into analysis-ready datasets. How can we trust that it's working properly? By building automated tests around it. Mini thread... bennett.ox.ac.uk/blog/2023/12/h…

New study from Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science using OpenSAFELY finds lockdowns didn't significantly change opioid prescribing, but disparities in care persist. This near real-time data monitoring is vital for the NHS to make opioid use safer. @anschaf The Lancet Public Health ow.ly/surn50SqFns

OpenSAFELY for retail data? Nice mention for our work on BBC Radio 4 Today from Henry Dimbleby yesterday. We built OpenSAFELY: the new, super-secure platform for the NHS for health data. Can you use our approach - just enough access - on retail data? Yes! bennett.ox.ac.uk/blog/2024/09/o…
