The National Data Guardian has updated its guidance, helping organisations conduct public benefit evaluations during planning stages for new data use initiatives concerning the delivery of care or research and innovation projects. The guidance: What do we mean by public benefit?

In a related blog article, Dr Nicola Byrne discusses the new guidance and the importance of being clear and transparent about secondary uses of data.
