The course is informal and is intended to help you feel comfortable with asking questions in the workshop and beyond the course through the NHS-R Community. Pre-requisites: Some prior knowledge of R is required and has either attended the NHS-R Community Introduction to R and R Studio course or have used some R (but by no means an “expert”). /rmd-workshop/workshop-rmd/faq/ Tue, 03 May 2022 00:00:00 +0000 /rmd-workshop/workshop-rmd/faq/ Where is the code that built this? Currently, the code that built the site can be found in the Philosopher Analyst Hugo Apéro site. The code for the slides themselves is hosted on the NHS-R Community GitHub repository. Slides/RStudio/GitHub doesn’t show or work Often problems with the slides not showing, RStudio Connect not loading and GitHub losing functionality is due to being on a VPN (Virtual Private Network)/Network. /intro-r/nhsr-intro/faq/ Fri, 18 Mar 2022 00:00:00 +0000 /intro-r/nhsr-intro/faq/ Who should attend? No prior knowledge of R is required; however, it is assumed that you will have a moderate level of computer literacy. For example, you will be able to navigate to drives and files and be confident in searching for solutions to technical problems on the internet. You will work with, or have an interest in, data. Why R? R is one of the most powerful data science software solutions used the world over and is being actively promoted by the NHS-R Community. /rmd-workshop/workshop-rmd/prework/ Thu, 10 Feb 2022 00:00:00 +0000 /rmd-workshop/workshop-rmd/prework/ Due to issues that were reported by attendees at the first delivered course, the set up has changed. If there are any issues with using RStudio Cloud then own computers can be used, just copy the code for the packages and the data locally.

The opportunity to “code along” is encouraged and that may necessitate 2 screens for comfort of moving between the demonstration and using RStudio on your computer.

It was a series of short talks on how analysts had found data challenges in the Covid-19 pandemic. I was reluctant speaking at first because my particular role had meant I had little involvement with this data or the challenges but I realised that I probably wasn’t alone and that’s what inspired my talk “Imposter syndrome in the time of coronavirus”. /project/nhsrdatasets/ Thu, 23 Apr 2020 00:00:00 +0000 /project/nhsrdatasets/ NHS-R Community NHSRdatasets package is a package created to help NHS, Public Health and related analysts/data scientists learn to use R.
