What Are People Saying?

“We wanted to quickly measure the effect Primary Care has on the management of Diabetes and how this affects the length of stay when these patients are admitted to hospital. The linked data and quick ethical approval meant that the work started promptly.”

“We benefited from a specific research question and with the statistical and analytical support made available by SAIL Databank were able to quickly ascertain which factors most affected length of stay. We are looking to use the methodology to carry some similar work covering COPD.”

“SAIL provides a rich and trusted data resource, exceptional in many respects, supporting research for patient and public benefit: a vital facility for interdisciplinary team science.”

“If you want to know what data linkage in the UK might look like in future decades, take a look at where SAIL is currently.”

“SAIL has set the global benchmark for innovation, security and quality of population health research based on linked data records. The benefits of SAIL will be seen for generations to come.”
