Accessibility

Access

Access Rights:
London Secure Data Environment Enquiry Form
Access Service Category:
TRE/SDE
Access Service:
Researchers will have access to a secure workspace via an airlocked Azure Virtual Desktop with a specific username and password, MFA (multi-factor authentication) and OAUTH (open authentication). Researchers will get specific access to a relevant subset of the datasets that are present in the SDE catalogue for their project and will be able to carry out their research within the safe haven. There are restrictions applied which prevent the researchers from taking data out of the safe haven. Once the research is completed the London SDE admin team will need to be contacted for any requests to egress summary analysis out of the safe haven which will not breach secure data environment disclosure control standards.
Access Request Cost:
Access costs will be determined on a project-by-project basis and will depend on the specific data requirements, platform setup, and any additional services needed to deliver the project successfully.
Delivery Lead Time:
1-2 months
Data Controller:
Participating London health care organisations act as Joint Data Controllers within the London SDE. These organisations include for example GP Practices and Acute Providers from across London.
Data Processor:

NHS North East London ICB hosts OneLondon and operates the London Data Service (LDS) as a data processor on behalf of those organisations, whilst Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust hosts the London Analytics Platform (LAP), with Imperial NHS Trust acting as the data processor for data processing activities undertaken within the platform.
