EuroQol
Group Foundation

The EuroQol Group consists of a network of
international multi-disciplinary researchers from Europe, North America,
New Zealand, South Africa and Japan. Their collaboration resulted in EQ-5D
- a standardised, non-disease-specific instrument for describing and
valuing health. EQ-5D is in widespread use in many countries and has been
applied in many different settings. EQ-5D is now an integral feature of
many clinical trials and is increasingly used in population health
surveys.
The EuroQol Group Foundation is formally registered in the Netherlands.
The objective of the Foundation is to promote the scientific interests of
the EuroQol Group. The Foundation has a formal Board of Management and a
growing Business Management Office in the Netherlands which is a focal
point for communication and provides services for distribution,
co-ordination and quality control. The EuroQol Business Management
maintains a website at www.euroqol.org. For more information, contact the
EuroQol Business Manager, dr. Frank de Charro at

“GPRD – The premier source of healthcare data from primary care”
The General Practice
Research Database is the premier source of healthcare data from primary
care
GPRD is the world’s largest database of anonymised longitudinal medical
records from primary care. Containing comprehensive observational data
from real life clinical practice, it provides analytical insight for a
wide range of applications in clinical trials, drug safety, health
outcomes, sales and marketing, portfolio management and epidemiology.
The database is updated regularly to enable the latest medical,
prescribing and disease trends to be identified, even for newly-launched
products. It is easily and securely accessed via the internet, and full
training and ongoing customer support are provided.
Observational data profiling the
UK population from cradle to grave
The UK is an excellent location for carrying out medical and
epidemiological research. Primary healthcare is provided to the entire
population by state-funded NHS General Practitioners, who are the
gate-keepers for referral to secondary care. The GPRD patient population
is drawn from over 350 practices throughout the UK and is broadly
representative of the UK population.
3 million active patient records
(7 million total)
The large sample size means that accurate conclusions can be confidently
drawn on disease trends, drug utilisation and health outcomes, and even
rare outcomes can be studied. Long term studies can be carried out because
the database contains over 35 million patient years of high quality
validated data, with up to 12 years of records for individual patients.
The GPRD Division actively maintains good relationships with contributing
practices to ensure data continuity, a consistently large patient sample
size and availability of follow up and source data verification services.
We collect, validate and update the records in the database ourselves.
Data accuracy is assured and results reflect current treatment trends, new
guidelines and recently introduced therapies. As the data is centrally
updated by the GPRD Division, the database is well-structured, ready to
query and saves you time and money compared to building datasets from
‘flat’ files..
Full training and ongoing customer
support provided
Our experienced research team provides ongoing advice for customers on
query construction for a study design and carry out additional
commissioned research work to complement the comprehensive training
included with all online access services and access to the GPRD helpdesk.
