Available linkages for each LPS

Last modified: 16 Oct 2026

Explore the linked data available for each partner Longitudinal Population Study (LPS).

UK LLC offers linkage of LPS participants’ data to NHS health datasets, non-health administrative datasets (e.g. HM Revenue & Customs and Department for Work and Pensions) and geographic or place-based datasets. Each partner LPS decides which linkages UK LLC is permitted to set up.

LPS participants can always object to UK LLC or specific data linkages

If a participant objects, no new data about them will be shared, but data that have already been provisioned to a research project can still be used until the project ends.

LPS, linked data owners and UK LLC need time to complete the necessary governance and data pipelines to enable data to flow into the UK LLC Trusted Research Environment (TRE). For this reason, we distinguish between permitted linkages and available linkages. Currently, researchers can request access to LPS data linked to NHS England health records and geographic datasets.
