IQVIA Medical Research Data (IMRD)
IMRD is an NHS Health Research Authority (HRA) approved research database, containing longitudinal non-identified patient electronic medical records (EMR) from 6 million patients in England, United Kingdom (UK) since 1900. EMR data is supplied from UK General Practitioner (GP) clinical systems via the IQVIA Medical Research Extraction Scheme and used for medical and public health research and treatment analysis. Data is collected from a diverse patient population across different ages, genders and ethnicities, providing a representative picture of GP-managed care within the UK. The average length of patient follow-up is 10 years, with most practices recording data for over 20 years.
