Harnessing the power of health data

We’re a team of passionate scientists, researchers and data experts from a wide-range of disciplines, developing and delivering services that enable and champion UK-wide data research to improve heart and circulatory health.

What is the BHF Data Science Centre?

The BHF Data Science Centre is part of Health Data Research UK (HDR UK) and works at the cutting-edge of cardiovascular data research. It resulted from a partnership between HDR UK and the British Heart Foundation (BHF). The Centre launched in 2020 with an initial investment from the British Heart Foundation of £10 million, and secured renewed funding of another £10 million at the end of 2025 to develop and deliver researcher-led, purpose-driven data services.

What we do

We aim to deliver user-led services that meet the needs of the cardiovascular research community that support two main themes:

Efficiency

Enabling faster, simpler, and trustworthy access and use of data for all cardiovascular researchers

Quality

Improving cardiovascular research outcomes through access to better, richer, more research-ready data
