Flatiron Health Announces New Partnership in the UK

Expansion into UK marks company’s third international subsidiary.

Flatiron Health, an oncology-focused RWD technology company, has partnered with the Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (LTHT), one of largest acute hospital trusts in Europe. The entry into the United Kingdom marks a major milestone in Flatiron’s expansion.

Flatiron International has subsidiaries already in Japan and Germany. Each partners with hospitals and health networks in RWD collaborations through Flatiron's local teams and infrastructure, ensuring that strict legal and regulatory requirements are met in all locations. The goal is to produce more top-quality oncology datasets for use by Flatiron’s hospital and health network partners in research collaborations and under license—with specific terms and conditions—to biopharma companies, to accelerate cancer research.

“Each Flatiron International partnership is designed to help local healthcare providers and partners generate and utilize high-quality RWD to advance oncology research and care,” said Nathan Hubbard, SVP, Flatiron’s head of corporate development and Flatiron International. He noted that the agreement was approved by the NHS Health Research Authority.
