Queen Mary now has a Multi Study Licence to access data from CPRD. The Multi Study Licence enables Queen Mary staff and PhD students to access CPRD data for approved studies at a reduced cost, supporting the faculty ambition to embed health data science at the heart of Medicine and Dentistry. Barts Charity will support the licence until 2027 as part of the Precision Health: Population Health Data Science research programme, jointly led by the Clinical Effectiveness Group in WIPH, and Barts Cancer Institute.
What is CPRD?CPRD is a longitudinal dataset representative of the UK population.

The dataset includes 60 million patients, of which 18 million are currently registered, and 25 per cent have at least 20 years of follow-up. More information is available on the Clinical Effectiveness Group website.
