This workshop is the first step in forming a UK health data community which identifies with the goals of ELIXIR. This event is aimed at those working in health data within the UK, including those working in academic institutions, healthcare and life science companies. 

During the event, we will discuss ELIXIR and EU health data activities and how these fit with UK health data communities and projects. We will also discuss how we can move towards creating an ELIXIR-UK health data community aligned with the human data opportunities available with ELIXIR.
