How well do we understand our waiting lists? The video of our session is now up on YouTube... youtu.be/3peqTEl_ZAQ?si=UbsC…
Thanks again for the great engagement in the session and sorry we didn't get to all of the Qs. You can get involved and ask Qs at the github discussions page.
Thanks to all who joined for the great questions, and to #HACA2024 for the opportunity! Work on the package is happening here (please do get involved): github.com/nhs-r-community/N…

Dear 🇬🇧,
Here’s your weekly reminder that 10 years ago, your NHS was ranked the #1 healthcare system on Earth. You don’t need a new system. You need a new govt that won’t destroy your public NHS to feed a private system. Your family isn’t safe in #ToryBritain.
#SOSNHS

ALT The 2013 Commonwealth Fund Overall Healthcare Rankings. The UK’s public system was ranked 1 overall. The privatised US system was ranked last overall. Private healthcare is always worse for patients and worse for the taxpayer. You don’t need a new system. You need a new government that won’t catastrophically defund the NHS.

Ran an introduction to R course today. In the last 5 years I think I have trained over 300 people. Had a few duplicates so need to check my numbers. So cool to be spreading the word of R to the NHS community. Do get in touch if you want to become a trainer. @NHSrCommunity
Awesome intro to R course. Trainer looks dodgy but don't let that put you off. Tell all your non R friends.
