About us

Proud to serve the communities of North West London

The health data that powers our work comes from the people and communities served by the five hospitals of Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust. We recognise that this is a privilege, and with it comes a responsibility to use data safely, ethically and transparently.

The research we enable begins in North West London, but its impact extends far beyond. By turning routine health data into evidence, we help improve care, inform policy and advance research that benefits patients locally, nationally and internationally.

Everything we do is built on the trust of our patients and communities. Protecting that trust is fundamental to our work.

Our Purpose

To bridge the gap between health data, research and real-world care.

Our Vision

A future where every health decision is informed by trusted evidence, enabled by data and driven by innovation.

Our Mission

We bring together data, expertise, technology and partnerships to generate evidence, accelerate innovation and improve healthcare.

Our Values

Patient-Centred: We keep patients and communities at the heart of every decision.

Collaborative: We bring together researchers, clinicians, organisations, and communities to achieve more together.

Trusted: We uphold the highest standards of security, transparency, expertise, and accountability.

Innovative: We continuously explore better ways to use data, technology, and collaboration to improve health.

Impact-driven: We focus on outcomes that create meaningful change.

It is a privilege for iCARE to represent these groups as a major healthcare data partner in NWL, but also a real responsibility as the role of healthcare data becomes more and more important to planning, research and health policy. Kelsey Flott Associate Director

Our Team

iCARE is a multidisciplinary team bringing together expertise in healthcare, data science and technology to improve the use of health data for research, innovation and patient care.

Our work is supported by a wider network of colleagues and partners, including the Whole Systems Integrated Care (WSIC) team, academic and clinical collaborators, and community partners. Together, these groups bring the expertise, experience and perspectives needed to ensure our work is innovative, relevant and delivers real-world impact.
