Use & Access Committee
The UKHD has established a central Use and Access Committee (UAC) as the central element of ethical and legal governance. The UAC of the UKHD is particularly dedicated to the task of assessing applications for the release and use of (patient) data to the Medical Data Integration Center (MeDIC) according to organizational, (data protection) legal, ethical and scientific aspects and approving applications for use accordingly or reject.
