This series of seminars presents an exciting opportunity to hear about recent developments in health data science, generate ideas, and help build the health data science community. It is hosted by the ONS’ Data Science Campus and Health Analysis Team in partnership with Health Data Research UK (HDR UK).

The next session will focus on health and privacy enhancing technologies (PETs), considering how modern privacy methods enable innovation in health data science. We’re still lining up our full list of speakers, but are excited to announce that we’ll be joined by Ben Goldacre, Director of the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science at the University of Oxford, who developed the OpenSAFELY initiative – a fully open source and highly secure analytics platform for NHS data created during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Health Data Science Seminar series provides a dedicated space for data scientists, policymakers, health professionals, academics, epidemiologists, statisticians and other members of the data science community to come together and explore the potential of data science, to help improve health and health policy. Sign up now and be part of the conversation.

Please note that this seminar takes place on Microsoft Teams, with the access link to be sent to all registered attendees 24 hours before the start of the event.
