NHS Data Infrastructure Critical for Life Sciences Innovation

18th February 2025

The Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI) has emphasised the importance of upgrading the NHS data infrastructure to support the burgeoning research needs of the life sciences sector. This pivotal change addresses the growing demand for high-quality data to drive innovation and improve patient outcomes. By modernising data facilities, the NHS and the life sciences industry can work synergistically, potentially leading to significant advancements in healthcare and job creation within the sector.

The life sciences sector is increasingly data-driven, requiring robust and efficient data infrastructures to facilitate cutting-edge research and development. The ABPI urges the NHS to modernise its current infrastructure to cater to these evolving needs. A well-supported data system can enhance the capabilities of pharmaceutical companies, enabling them to conduct timely and effective research. This modernisation could also impact employment within the life sciences by creating new roles focusing on data management and analytics. The collaboration between the NHS and the life sciences sector is crucial for fostering an environment where innovation thrives, improving healthcare outcomes for patients.

Upgrading the NHS data infrastructure is a pressing need that could unlock unprecedented growth and innovation in the life sciences sector. By addressing data handling challenges, the NHS can support crucial research efforts, leading to better healthcare solutions and creating employment opportunities. As both the NHS and the life sciences industry adapt to this digital transformation, the potential benefits for healthcare and the economy could be profound and far-reaching.
