History
editThe creation of Cambridge University Health Partners was announced by the then health secretary Alan Johnson in March 2009.[2]
In September 2022, Cambridge University Health Partners was involved in what is believed to be UK's first demonstration of genomic data federation by connecting the trusted research environments of NIHR Cambridge Biomedical Research Centres and Genomics England as part of a UK Research & Innovation-funded project involving University of Cambridge, NIHR Cambridge BRC, Genomics England, Lifebit, and Eastern Academic Health Science Network.[3][4]
