Bristol Routine and Integrated Database Group (BRIDGE)

These pages are currently being updated Winter/ Spring 2023/24

BRIDGE has expertise in utilising large and often linked databases for outcomes and cost research to answer health and care policy questions, service evaluation, technology assessment and real world implementation practice.

Who we are

We are a group of methodologists and clinicians with a background in economics, health services and health policy research, statistics and data science, and epidemiology

What we do

We use statistical and econometric methods to analyse and link data to derive high quality evidence to support the commissioning of services, policy making and technology assessment in the UK and beyond.

We work across a number of projects and programmes, collaberating across departments and schools at the University of Bristol.

Example Projects

HIPPY - Factors influencing outcomes and costs for hip replacement in younger people using routine databases

Olivia - A mixed-methods investigation of the delivery, impact and acceptability of a national de-adoption programme across Clinical Commissioning Groups in the English National Health Service (Paper)
