Speaker: Dr Katie O'Brien, Health Protection Surveillance Centre
Title: "Analysing health data: lessons learned"
Abstract:
In this talk I will consider some issues that I have encountered while working on projects across various organisations, such as messy and/or incomplete data, privacy concerns and linking data. In particular I will look at some uses of linked administrative health data, e.g. cancer screening and covid-19. I will discuss these issues and some of the implications in terms of uncertainty and communication of and trust in the results.
