The Data Portal is a world-leading Trusted Research
Environment (TRE) that researchers use to access data
to find new ways to research Dementia
It’s here: a new framework for safe, confident synthetic data use

The UK Synthetic Data Community Group has developed practical guidance to help organisations share synthetic data under UK law supported by DPUK’s expertise and real-world approach.
