Data Science Seminars

Contributor Covenant

A repo to hold resources and code associated with the (formerly NHS Digital) NHS England Data Science team's technical learning sessions, referred to as 'seminars'.

Data Science Seminars provide a regular opportunity for those in the NHS who are interested in data science, to share code, skills and knowledge, provide advice and guidance to each other and generally network and get to know each other.

When and where

Our seminars take place on an ad hoc basis, usually monthly. Details of the specific seminars are provided in event invites sent out byt the datascience@nhs.net mailbox. Please note that due to the merging of NHS Digital, NHS England and Health Education England, these events might change in frequency, content and audience.
