A repo to hold resources and code associated with the (formerly NHS Digital) NHS England Data Science team's technical learning sessions, referred to as 'seminars'.
Data Science Seminars provide a regular opportunity for those in the NHS who are interested in data science, to share code, skills and knowledge, provide advice and guidance to each other and generally network and get to know each other.
Our seminars take place on an ad hoc basis, usually monthly. Details of the specific seminars are provided in event invites sent out byt the datascience@nhs.net mailbox. Please note that due to the merging of NHS Digital, NHS England and Health Education England, these events might change in frequency, content and audience.
This repo and its contents represents internal training materials and should not be considered official policy.
Unless stated otherwise, the code in this repository is released under the MIT Licence. Please note that other contents of this repository is licensed under the Open Government 3.0 Licence and released with a Contributor Code of Conduct.

If you would like to add resources and code from your session, please fork or clone the repository and create a new branch.
Emulating the Department for Transport's (DfT) sensible approach - and to induce standardisation across the different Coffee and Coding programs across UK Government Departments - your folders should adhere to the following conventions:
YYYYMMDD_Topic_Name
All folders should contain a README.md with notes or a brief explanation about the session and materials of that folder.
We don't have strict requirements for the content, but please make it as clear, accessible and easy to use as possible.
For more information contact datascience@nhs.net.
We have borrowed a lot from other Coffee and Coding sessions organised across the public sector. See this full list for details.
