The Mohn Westlake Foundation is pleased to support medConfidential to help ensure data projects from outside the NHS are increasingly consensual, safe, and transparent.

medConfidential is an independent non-partisan organisation campaigning for confidentiality and consent in health and social care, which seeks to ensure that every flow of data into, across and out of the NHS and care system is consensual, safe, and transparent. Founded in January 2013, medConfidential works with patients and medics, service users and care professionals, drawing advice from a network of experts.

The Mohn Westlake Foundation supported an 18 month project to support Trusted Research Environments and demonstrate that Good TREs Work for good research, good ethics and good medical care.

Making good decisions is often unrecognised and decried by those who would benefit from lower safety around data. This project will highlight best practices and assess where environments have chosen to operate in the quality spectrum.
