The NHS-R Community started in 2018 to promote the use of R in the NHS and the community has grown rapidly ever since. It is a community that is broader than the NHS as members come from public sector organisations across the UK, including Local Authorities and Civil Service, as well as academics and voluntary sector people who have an interest in healthcare. Whilst R is a core language for support by the community, there is always support for data science tools more generally, particularly where they cross over with R.

NHS-R Community and NHS Resolution

Occasionally NHS-R Community has been confused with an NHS organisation called NHS Resolution particularly as the email addresses share the first few letters.

As with any email sent from nhs.net to nhs.net sensitive information is protected but it’s always advisable to share data using a password protected file just in case it goes to the wrong person.

WordPress site

This site is currently being moved from WordPress to Quarto. Once this is working and as compliant with accessibility as possible we will switch the nhsrcommunity url over.

Special thanks

To the creators of Quarto and to those who publish their code to share their knowledge particularly the website Real World Data Science and Silvia Canelón’s personal site.

Both were instrumental in building this site as they share the code from their website but have also contributed to the NHS-R Community Conferences:
