Research programme
With the spread of novel COVID-19 in the UK since January 2020 there is a rapid need to undertake research to inform the clinical response. Guy’s and St Thomas’ (GSTT) and King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trusts (KCH) are at the epicentre of the UK pandemic having seen over 900 patients at the time of writing. In line with HDRUK championing the use of health data to support research and innovation that addresses challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, GSTT along with King’s College London (KCL) have set up a KHP COVID Data Analytics & Modelling Group. Both trusts are part of King’s Health Partners (KHP). \nThe purpose of this programme is to utilise the electronic health records (EHRs) to identify COVID positive patients allowing the tracking of disease progression, care and outcomes.
