HDR UK Training Leads
Our Training Leads are long some of the most dedicated people in the sector. They are devoting their skills and experience to ensuring the best possible learning and training is available to the emerging and future generations of health data scientists.
Training is vitally important to the future development of health data science. Our Training Leads promote training, knowledge exchange and the development of best practice across all nations and regions of the UK.
We also have Training Leads for each of HDR UK’s five Research Driver Programmes, for the Institute’s individual workstreams and for the ESPRC and UKRI Northern Health Futures and LEAP digital health hubs.
Working alongside our UK-level Capacity Building Team they foster a dynamic learning environment and promote a culture of collaboration and knowledge sharing across HDR UK and the wider health data science community.
