Powered by NHS Data case studies

The Head of Communication and Engagement for GP Data sought feedback from the panel on upcoming case studies of the Powered by NHS Data project. The panel provided input on the messaging and creative of multiple case studies, including language use, terminology and ordering of voice-over lines. The panel also reflected on the sensitivity of some topics being considered for case studies.

The panel were informed that the research would be made publicly available in the next few months and will be used to inform the delivery of large-scale public engagement events on health data, which has been publicised in a press release in September 2023.

- Meeting regularity over Christmas – the panel were informed the following meeting, 4 January 2024, is likely to be cancelled due to staff availability.
