  • Using your own machine: You can download zip files of each workshop, or if you are familiar with Git and GitHub, you can clone the repository. Follow the links in the table above to the relevant workshops.

If you are unsure about your setup, or unable to access the material on your own machine, please use the RStudio Cloud method.


To download and use this material on you machine, please use these steps:

  1. Make sure you have R and RStudio installed.

  2. Identify the sessions you are attending from the list above, and follow the link to the relevant repository.

  3. Click the ‘Clone or Download’ button and select ‘Download zip file’:

  4. Once the file has downloaded, unzip it, and open the ‘.Rproj’ file.



For workshop leaders:

Please commit you workshop material to a GitHub repository by 30/10/2019. This will allow us time to make sure your material is available on RStudio cloud. Please email a link to your repository, and a list of the required R packages, to nhsrconfspeakers@gmail.com.

If you are using healthcare related datasets as examples, please consider adding them to the NHSRdatasets package. The data can then be reused by other to learn R or when running training. You can find the package at: https://github.com/nhs-r-community/NHSRdatasets
