Co-produced and stakeholder informed training for UK researchers

working with administrative data

SEP2023: We will shortly be moving the CENTRIC training course and its contents and will update you as this happens. For now, continue to sign-up and we will communicate with plenty of notice when the training course is moved.

About CENTRIC 

Our overall aim was to develop training for UK researchers to enhance their understanding of public perspectives and governance requirements and improve their practice when working with administrative data.

What is administrative data?

We use administrative and routine data interchangeably (although throughout the training we use the former for consistency). Administrative data are information collected primarily for administrative (not research) purposes when providing public services. These data are collected by hospitals, schools, police, government departments (plus many more!) for the purposes of registration, transaction and record keeping to enable the delivery of that service.

Accessing and analysing such data can help answer important questions, for example, about the efficient provision of services, improvements in care, and the impact of policies on patient outcomes.
