Data Action Research Team (DART)

The Data Action Research Team is CHIL’s research function providing an environment for those using data for research and innovation with civic purpose, to collaborate, share knowledge, solve problems, identify priorities and maximise impact.

The close partnership with NHS Cheshire and Merseyside (C&M) Data into Action programme is a crucial part of DART, which aims to ensure that data is translated into impactful action, realising clear benefits for C&M patients, communities, key stakeholder organisations and wider partners through measurable change across the system.

Weekly meetings provide a forum for health care professionals, analysts, data scientists and population health researchers to present their work, to share knowledge and enable mobilisation across academia, NHS, local authorities, and the wider health and care system. This provides a unique ability for C&M to respond to urgent health and care priorities in a timely and evidenced based manner.

The DART comprises representatives from the University of Liverpool and strategic partner organisations and is supported by CHIL and the research projects within it.
