About LCR CDC

The Liverpool City Region Civic Data Cooperative (LCR CDC) is a data stewardship project funded by the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA) and hosted by the Civic Health Innovation Labs at the University of Liverpool.

We work closely with the NHS, local authorities and other public sector organisations, business and academic organisations. Our role is to connect organisations, and citizens, in our region to appropriate data in order to help improve service delivery and solve big problems.

We want to create a vibrant, internationally visible, civic data environment which will enable residents’ data to work harder for them to shape better care and fuel globally important innovations from the Liverpool City Region.

Based on a collaborative, transparent and inclusive approach to governance, the Civic Data Cooperative’s current objectives are to:

Connect civic organisations, industry experts, and the community to mobilise data across the region to improve the lives of residents
Act as advocates for the better use of data
Engage communities on what’s happening with their data, data sharing and research in the region
Help drive research using data to create positive change by showing organisations how best they can use data to generate insights and feed them back into the system will support people and organisations to:

Through this collaborative process, we believe we can encourage positive health and well-being changes across the Liverpool City Region.
