About

We are based in the Primary Care Research Centre where we work across the departmental research themes, but we also apply our research knowledge and skills to a range of other topics. We regularly run seminars and online meetings to discuss all things related to data science. In all aspects of our work, from research design to dissemination of findings, we involve the public and patients, to ensure our research has public need and opinion at its centre.
