O n-line access to the data contained within the GPRD is gained through obtaining a Licence. However, some of our customers require specific data cuts that are enabled via the GPRD Research Services .

In addition to dataset provision, GPRD Researchers are able to provide analysis services. These range from generation of basic incidence, prevalence or other aggregated measures, to designing and conducting full research studies according to guidance from the study sponsor.

Benefits of using GPRD Consulting Services include:

• Access to the data without a large human resource investment
• Datasets are constructed by our experienced research team who provide specific data from the full GPRD dataset - accurate data is even available for rare disease areas
• The ability to undertake complex studies without the need for internal expertise

GPRD Consulting Services serves as a useful introduction to the capabilities of GPRD - the data supplied can aid in assessing the suitability of purchasing an online full feature access licence and carrying out regular research. GPRD Consulting Services are carried out by our Research Services team who have a strong academic and/or pharmaceutical industry background in pharmacoepidemiology, epidemiology and statistics. They have a combined GPRD research experience of over 40 years.
