About

IHDP's vision is to use data and analytics to drive improvement in health outcomes. To do this, the programme brings together expertise in clinical practice, data science, and research. IHDP aims to achieve change by focusing innovation across many fronts and with a wide range of stakeholders.

The programme's initial focus is to develop and oversee the implementation of a cancer intelligence framework for Scotland. It also has a remit to apply learning to other clinical areas.
