Available Resources on the ARC KSS Data Science Hub:

  • National and regional dataset resource profiles and guides – including information on access pathways, costs, training requirements, access agreements, and more.
  • Beginners guides for handling routine NHS data and developing clinical code lists.
  • Overview of previous project – Unlocking Data.
