Your New Opportunities in Health Data Science
New on HDR UK Futures
Health Data Research Futures is a free and flexible online learning platform. We are adding new bitesize videos all the time featuring subject matter experts working at the forefront of health data science.
Health Research from Home Webinars: The Health Research from Home webinar series offers a unique insight into creating and running research studies using smartphones and wearables. In each webinar expert speakers share successful case studies explaining how they designed studies, how they recruited to the studies, the technology they used and how they analysed the data they collected, helping you to design successful studies of the future.
Data Standardisation Pathway: The newly available Data Standardisation pathway, produced with tutors from the University of Sheffield, Joe Heffer, Grace Accad and Yuliang Weng is now available to view for free online. After taking our end of course assessment, you can upgrade to get a certificate. Learn about more about:
The pathway brings in the principles of open research, including practical advice on selecting the appropriate file format to ensure the reusability of your data, increasing its research impact and the potential for collaboration.

The hybrid conference will feature world-class keynote speakers and opportunities to share your science through submitted talks and posters. With leading exhibitors and a variety of networking events, this is an event to add to your calendar now. We expect to open registration this month.
Setting Standards for Public Engagement in Data Research
The Public Engagement in Data Research Initiative (PEDRI) have published the most up-to-date version of the Good Practice Standards for public engagement in data for research and statistics. The seven standards are the result of two years of collaboration with professionals and the public. They help all of us ensure the public voice is an integral part of the data community.
Study Reveals Data-Driven Insights for Heart Hailure Patients
A comprehensive study of data from over 233,000 patients, enabled by the BHF Data Science Centre, reveals critical new insights into heart failure hospital admissions. The study sheds light on rehospitalisation and mortality trends, particularly for patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and chronic conditions. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the findings emphasise the need for targeted treatments and improved post-discharge care.
