About this Event
<h4>This event, '‘Data-driven science informing policy and health and care practice’, will feature presentations from guest speakers:</h4><h4>
</h4>

Dr Jen lewis - Research Fellow
Dr Richard Jacques - Senior lecturer in Medical Statistics
Dr Beckie Simpson - Lecturer in Medical Statistics
Dr Daniel Chalk - HSMA Preogramme Lead

Dr Lewis, Dr Jacques and Dr Simpson will be discussing two sister-projects in three parts: a section on the federated methods these projects used and the results from the two projects.

Dr Simpson will be presenting part 1: "Exploring variation in ED attendances and acute hospital admissions for Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions". This examines patient demographics, attendance characteristics and outcomes for patients presenting with Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions.

Dr Lewis will be presenting part 2: " Winter Pressures: Understanding seasonal variation in demand for emergency care using regional routine data from EDs and acute hospital admissions.". This looks for differences in key performance markers and patient case mix in winter compared with non-winter months, and explores regional variation in seasonal demand.

Dr Jacques will be presenting the analysis methods used for these two projects. His talk, entitled "Exploring regional linked health data capability for research", will cover the novel approach used.

Dr Chalk, the HSMA Preogramme Lead, will be presenting about the Health Service Modelling Associates (HSMA) Programme. This is a free 15-month programme open to staff working in health, social care and policing anywhere in England. Dr Chalk will introduce the programme and talk about the impact it has had as well as directions for the future.

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's Data Science Campus and Health Analysis Team in partnership with Health Data Research UK (HDR UK).

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.
