BHDP - National Records of Scotland (NRS) - Deaths Data

Dataset

Documentation

Description:
This is a subset of National Records of Scotland (NRS) - Deaths dataset for use in the Brain Health Data Pilot (BHDP) project. The Brain Health Data Pilot (BHDP) project aims to be a shared database (like a library) of information for scientists studying brain health, especially for diseases like dementia, which affects about 900,000 people in the UK. Its main feature is a huge collection of brain images linked to routinely collected health records, both from NHS Scotland, which will help scientists learn more about dementia and other brain diseases. What is special about this database is that it will get better over time – as scientists use it and add their discoveries, it becomes more valuable.
