EDGE in the UK
EDGE was developed in 2000 by CIRU Director Professor James Batchelor and Head of Development David Miller, within the National Cancer Research Network at University Hospitals Southampton NHS Foundation Trust. Since then the success of EDGE has grown rapidly with 12 out of 15 LCRNs (Local Clinical Research Networks) utilising EDGE, resulting in over 80% of NHS trusts on board. Therefore the system has extensive use across England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, with thousands of active users making the most out of their research data. UK organisations include Hospitals, GP Surgeries, Health boards, Clinical Research Networks, Charities and more.

“The flexibility offered by EDGE means we have been able to successfully introduce it not just to the research staff but also to our service departments. This means we are benefiting as we can use the system as an intelligent data management tool to fully integrate information from all departments to produce meaningful, quality data for outcome analysis.”
