Use of data

As part of Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, Evelina London participates in and supports health and social care research. During any research study that you have agreed for your child to participate in, information about your child is collected in order to conduct the study and for analyses. On some occasions information that has already been collected for your child's normal care is then re-used for research purposes.

For more details on the use of information in research please see the Health Research Authority’s website. We have also compiled, in collaboration with our Patient and Public Advisory Group, a list of frequently asked questions about the use of data in research.
