Join us on Wednesday 22nd January 2025 at 10am to contribute to the discussion and debate around skills training and gaps in applied health and care data science research.
Our invited speakers include:
Prof Carol Brayne, [cph.cam.ac.uk] Emeritus Professor of Public Health Medicine, University of Cambridge
Prof Andy Vail, Professor of Clinical Biostatistics, University of Manchester
Dr Sarah Culkin [uk.linkedin.com], Deputy Director of Data Science, NHS England
Precious-Gift Alele [lida.leeds.ac.uk], Data Scientist, Leeds Institute of Data Analytics Data Scientist Development Programme, University of Leeds
Dr Jonathan Batty, Wellcome Clinical PhD Fellow & Cardiology Specialist Registrar, University of Leeds
The presenters bring a range of perspectives from across the field of applied health and care data science research and will cover:
- Methodological challenges for the robust and generalisable use of health and care data (including limitations with the use of large-scale volunteer cohort studies and the importance of training and expertise in statistical reasoning)
- Experiences of students and professionals delivering, receiving, or seeking training
- Findings from the HealthDataFiT survey/interview project exploring health data science training needs and gaps across the UK(work led through the NIHR Methodology Incubator Health Data Science Workstream and presented by Ruth Evans [medicinehealth.leeds.ac.uk] and Zoe Hancox [eps.leeds.ac.uk])
- Considerations for how training and education is being delivered and should evolve.
