End of Year Round-Up

fOR EDGE AT THE CLINICAL INFORMATICS RESEARCH UNIT

As we are well into December and approach the end of 2023 there is a huge amount to reflect upon after a year that saw the biggest leap forward in EDGE in its 23-year history. The launch of EDGE version 3 was a huge personal milestone for the Clinical Informatics Research Unit, and seeing the culmination of our collective investments go live was a real triumph.

Since the UK launch in May, our dedicated EDGE Knowledge Team has been hard at work building on the success with a continuous series of releases to optimise performance and bring further enhancements, ensuring that you have the tools you need to stay ahead in an ever-evolving research landscape.

The entire CIRU team extends their thanks to all of you in fostering and growing our community which has been a driving force behind our accomplishments. All of you who reviewed, tested, tweaked, documented, trained, and contributed to launching EDGE 3 played a big part in our year.

As we reflect, we are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead. In 2024, we will continue to innovate and adapt to meet the evolving needs of our community. Some new API functions are already in testing and our Marcomms Team will be announcing an exciting tool in the new year to help us all collaborate. We also are really looking forward to the return of the EDGE Conference next year which will highlight many EDGE 3 user success stories and is on track to be our biggest event so far.

So, from everyone here at EDGE and from all of us at CIRU, we extend our warmest wishes to you and your team for the festive season, and we hope everyone gets time for a well-deserved break and we look forward to supporting your success in the coming year and beyond.
