Research Summary

The Margaret Peters Centre (MPC) is a virtual centre housed within the Health Informatics team at University Hospital Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust (UHBFT). It is a collaborative centre for data analytics, and brings together the expertise of managers, clinicians and academics with questions that can be answered through the analysis of available data. It is needed to bridge the gap between the routine analysis and processing of data in hospitals, and the interesting questions which exist in clinical and academic teams across organisations in the region.

Objectives

The Margaret Peters Centre provides help for any project that might realistically be answered by interrogating routine data sets (e.g. Hospital Episode Statistics, Office for National Statistics data, NHS purchasing data etc). Often this can only be ascertained through discussion with the informaticians who have in-depth knowledge of the datasets available so if in doubt please still bring ideas forward.

The centre deliberately aims to work across all of the Themes within ARC WM so any project from within these areas can be considered.
