This project involves the analysis of OncoLlama curated data from 2 London-based sites, Guy’s and St. Thomas’ Hospital and University College London Hospital, to enable our examination of cancer inequalities across diverse populations. Further impactful outputs include comparison with national cancer records, whilst we will challenge how enriched data can potentially streamline clinical trial recruitment, particularly for underserved groups.
Academically, it will generate high-quality real-world evidence on lung cancer screening pathways,
inequalities, and outcomes within London. This will support peer-reviewed publications and contribute to the
wider evidence base on screening effectiveness and implementation.
Professionally, the project will support the development of advanced analytical skills in handling large-scale
linked healthcare datasets, including primary and secondary care integration. It will also strengthen
collaboration between clinicians, analysts, and system leaders across London.
Organisationally, the project will inform the development of the INSIGHT-Lung programme and support the
strategic objectives of RM Partners, NHS England, and OneLondon. The outputs, including potential
dashboards and reports, will provide actionable insights for commissioners and providers to improve service
delivery, reduce duplication (e.g. unnecessary imaging), and optimise screening pathways.
In addition, the project will help demonstrate the value of the OneLondon Secure Data Environment as a
platform for integrated care analytics, supporting future investment and expansion of similar initiatives.
