The CPRD Aurum sample dataset is a medium-fidelity synthetic dataset that resembles the real world CPRD Aurum with respect to the data types, data values, data formats, data structure and table relationships. This synthetic dataset can be used for multiple purposes including:

  1. as a sample dataset to understand the structure and utility of the anonymised CPRD Aurum database
  2. to use as a data management teaching/training resource
  3. to develop/validate/test analytics tools for use with CPRD Aurum data
  4. to improve bespoke CPRD Aurum application interfaces/algorithms, e.g. a bespoke cohort selection tool, or
  5. to develop machine learning workflows that can be applied to anonymised CPRD Aurum data.
