Nigel Hughes: A Non-Identifiable Data Layer On Top of Clinical Systems That Retain Memory May Be The Future of European Health Data - CIFS Health

Nigel Hughes has a thirty-six year career spanning the NHS in the UK (16 years), NGOs and patient organisations (10 years) and within the pharmaceutical industry (18 years). He has worked clinically in HIV and viral hepatitis, liver disease, and in sales & marketing, medical affairs, market access and health economics, R&D, precision medicine, advanced diagnostics, health IT and Real World Data/Real World Medicine. His experience covers clinical, education, as an advisor, consulting, communications and lobbying over the years. He is currently the Project Lead for the IMI2 European Health Data & Evidence Network (EHDEN), and was Platform Co-Lead for the IMI1 European Medical Information Framework (EMIF), as well as consulting on numerous projects and programmes in the domain of RWD/RWE. In common with all regions and countries, our health data infrastructure is reflective of how we all organically developed systems over prior systems, apart from perhaps such countries as Estonia, who were afforded the opportunity to start afresh after the end of the Soviet Union.
