Generation Scotland has consent to link cohort study data to medical records. This has been done for most of the volunteers and most of the NHS datasets available in Scotland. The talk will cover some of the research which this linkage has enabled and also some of the difficulties in repurposing administrative records. (Archie Campbell)
