We are inviting applications for the inaugural Chair and Chief Executive Officer of the newly established Health Data Research Service (HDRS).
The health data research service (HDRS) was announced by the Prime Minister in April 2025 and will be a new Government owned company set up to deliver a world-class service that will transform access to the UK’s health data. This is an ambitious and unprecedented initiative backed by £600m of funding from UK Government and the Wellcome Trust which will seek to make the UK’s health data assets interoperable and securely available to researchers to support innovations in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease.
We are looking for a Chair to oversee the appointment of a Board and a Chief Executive Officer to support the set-up, development and early implementation phase of the health data research service, ensuring that this pioneering organisation is set up for success.
We encourage you to explore the candidate materials and find out more about the HDRS and these landmark roles.
