...The NHS should support medical re. Our Medical Director, Professor Peter Weissberg, said: "it's easier than you think to help with re. we're not asking for all healthcare professionals to become outright reers. but we do need them to understand the re world and how they can facilitate the use of patients and patient data for re. "reers use patient data in a number of ways, from finding common factors across a large number of people that can help predict disease, to finding people that could be asked to take part in a re study. it's vital we create a system where reers have better access to patient data so we can use it to help find new life-saving treatments for heart patients.""
