Between November 2020 and February 2021, the My World, My Health project looked at how public services could use non-health information to provide better health and care services. Just as your GP will know when you become a parent, would it be helpful if they knew you suddenly became unemployed? Or perhaps whether you were at risk of developing asthma because of the pollution levels in your area?

Sharing information across organisations could potentially improve your wellbeing or help you get a better service. But it could also pose risks.

Therefore, we felt it was important to hear people's thoughts on how they felt about data sharing across organisations. Should this happen? If so, how? Or if not, why? And how should we, as individuals, be involved in the way data about us is collected and shared?

Throughout the project, we ran several workshops, interviews and a survey to get people's views. This event is an opportunity for anyone with an interest in the topic to hear about some of our initial findings and feedback on progress so far.

Agenda

• 14:00 - 15:30: Project presentations and Q&A
• 15:30 - 16:30: Have your say - an opportunity for you to help us shape our findings.

We hope you will be able to join us for part or all of the event. We look forward to welcoming you online on 11 March.

About the project

The project is commissioned by Nesta on behalf of the Scottish Government. The Scottish Government will draw on the findings from this and other work in developing their approaches to data sharing and service design.
