Global Data Support (GDS) is a specialist healthcare analytics partner focused on understanding how care is delivered across complex patient pathways.
We work with NHS organisations to transform large-scale healthcare data into clear, practical insights that support better decision-making, service planning, and patient outcomes.
Our approach goes beyond traditional reporting. By analysing healthcare activity over time, we provide a connected view of the full patient journey, helping to identify:
- delays in diagnosis and treatment
- fragmentation across services
- variation in care delivery between organisations
GDS has particular expertise in rare diseases and complex conditions, where pathways are often difficult to interpret using standard analytical approaches.
Using secure NHS data environments, we deliver:
- end-to-end patient pathway mapping
- system-level insights across hospital and outpatient care
- identification of improvement opportunities grounded in real-world data
Our focus is:
turning complex data into insights that are clear, actionable, and relevant to the NHS and NHS partners.
What will be showcased on our stand?
At our stand, we will demonstrate how complex patient pathways can be visualised and understood using real-world healthcare data.
We offer our visitors to see examples of:
- End-to-end patient journey mapping across services
- Identification of delays, variation, and fragmentation in care
- How longitudinal analysis reveals patterns not visible in standard reporting
- How these insights can support practical service improvement decisions
We will also showcase how these approaches can be applied to complex and rare conditions within NHS settings.
