Opponents of the plan to share medical records on a giant database are "peddling scaremongering myths", medical research organisations say.
The warning by Patients4Data, an umbrella group for more than 70 bodies, comes after the launch of Care.data was delayed this week to the autumn.
Patients4Data said the opponents were risking patients benefiting from a revolution in modern medicine.
But privacy campaigners maintain their concerns are justified.
The central database will involve taking records from GP practices and linking them with hospital files.
