There are many existing tools and resources that allow you to browse metadata for health datasets, and we list some of them here:

### [Health Data Research Innovation Gateway](https://web.www.healthdatagateway.org/search?search=&datasetSort=latest&tab=Datasets) and the connected [Metadata Catalogue](https://modelcatalogue.cs.ox.ac.uk/hdruk_live/)
### Health Data Research Innovation Gateway and the connected Metadata Catalogue

- The metadata used as input for this `R` package `browseMetadata`
- The metadata used as input for this `R` package `browseMetadata`.
- Managed by Health Data Research UK in collaboration with the UK Health Data Research Alliance. More information can be found on the [Health Data Research Innovation Gateway](https://web.www.healthdatagateway.org/search?search=&datasetSort=latest&tab=Datasets) and the [Metadata Catalogue](https://modelcatalogue.cs.ox.ac.uk/hdruk_live/).
- Described as a search-engine or ‘portal’ to help find health datasets that exist in the UK.
- The datasets discoverable through the Gateway are from organisations in the NHS, research institutes, and charities, which are part of the UK Health Data Research Alliance.

- It is "managed by Health Data Research UK in collaboration with the UK Health Data Research Alliance"
A related resource from HDRUK is the [Phenotype Library](https://phenotypes.healthdatagateway.org), described as a comprehensive, open access resource providing the research community with information, tools, and phenotyping algorithms for UK electronic health records. Also see the [Concept Library](https://conceptlibrary.saildatabank.com) developed by the SAIL databank team and collaborating organisations.

### British Heart Foundation Data Science Centre (BHF DSC) Dashboard

- "The datasets that are discoverable through the Gateway are from organisations in the NHS, research institutes and charities, which are part of the UK Health Data Research Alliance"
- Offers an overview and interactive summaries of the datasets currently available through CVD-COVID-UK/COVID-IMPACT within the secure Trusted Research Environments (TREs) provided by NHS England for England, the National Data Safe Haven for Scotland and the SAIL databank for Wales.
- This dashboard allows exploration of data dictionaries, data coverage, and data completeness. More information can be found on the [BHF DSC Dashboard](https://bhf-dsc-hds.shinyapps.io/cvd-covid-tre-dashboard).
