About ELAN

The Extramural LUMC Academic Network (ELAN) brings researchers and healthcare professionals in the region together to support innovation and improvements in healthcare research, training and education.

If you want to do research within the Leiden-The Hague area (the northern part of the province of South Holland), you can make use of the following research opportunities to (1) make contact with general practitioners (GPs) or GPs-in-training and teachers, and/or (2) help with patient recruitment, and/or (3) get access to encrypted routine (care) data of the ELAN data warehouse. Information on options 1 and 2 can be found on www.elanresearch.nl, information on option 3 can be found here.

One of the elements of the ELAN data warehouse is the primary care data from affiliated GPs. By using information on the actual experienced care for bench marking and research we can build a learning healthcare system. This is how GPs and LUMC-PHEG and the Health Campus Den Haag will tackle the challenges in healthcare together.
