Advisory Group for Data (AGD)

Following the transfer of the functions of NHS Digital to NHS England on 1 February 2023, NHS England has established the Advisory Group for Data (AGD) which includes independent members who can individually and collectively provide NHS England with expert advice and assurance on internal and external access to data.

Further information

The establishment of the Advisory Group for Data by NHS England seeks to build on the work of the previous NHS Digital Independent Group Advising on the Release of Data (IGARD) and is also in response to the Statutory Guidance: NHS England’s protection of patient data.
