Chief Investigator Professor Richard Hobbs and Co-PI Professor Clare Bankhead

The ORCHID clinical data platform was developed by and is based in the Oxford Institute of Digital Health (OIDH), a centre within the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences at the University of Oxford.

ORCHID is a unique research platform which holds data from multiple UK clinical systems (e.g., OPTUM/EMIS and TPP) and which can link primary care data with other health data. ORCHID is used to carry out surveillance, epidemiological, trial and prospective studies. ORCHID supports the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) Research Surveillance Centre (RSC) which has been the primary source for acute respiratory disease surveillance in England for nearly 70 years.
