How anonymisation works

Anonymisation: All identifying information is removed from data before we receive it, making individual identification impossible.

Aggregated analysis: We work with grouped data patterns, never individual cases.

Secure processing: All anonymised data is stored and processed according to strict university and NHS guidelines.

No reverse identification: Our research methods ensure that findings cannot be traced back to individuals.
