On 3rd February 2026, AMRC hosted a workshop to better understand what charities and charity-funded researchers need from the Health Data Research Service (HDRS), and to help inform our work in this space.

It featured talks – including from the new HDRS CEO, Melanie Ivarsson OBE, in her first external speaking engagement – as well as breakout discussions and a panel session.

The discussions have been summarised in a briefing, which you can download below.
