Abstract
Objectives The main objective of this poster is to present a pilot project in determining emerging population health themes and identifying key research-enabling datasets ahead of time. At present, large-scale databanks, such as the Secure Anonymised Information Linkage (SAIL) Databank at Swansea Un...
