Welcome to the  DSxHE's Download; our monthly informal, conversational and informative online Meetups!

These are open to anyone in the world, no matter what your level of experience and background. They are really just an opportunity to meet fellow DSxHE-ers and learn a few new things :-)

We are thrilled to be joined by Kathy Harrison - Programme Lead, DataLoch, University of Edinburgh

DataLoch is a Safe Haven (otherwise known as a TRE or SDE) in Scotland, based in the new Usher Institute in Edinburgh. The DataLoch team research with access to primary and secondary care data. Kathy will share something about how the Scottish health data ecosystem looks like and some specifics about the kind of data and research projects they support in understanding health inequalities.

Their website case studies outline some of this work – Case Studies | Dataloch – projects include: a study looking at the connections between energy poverty and preschool respiratory infections; a project bringing together data to support those at risk of homelessness; a data collection that allows for research around lifestyle influences on health and wellbeing.

Email us at info@datasceinceforhealthequity.com if you want to host next time & share your work or anything interesting that you've encountered lately. Or, if you're looking for some inspiration on what to share, why not have a look at the DSxHE Library?

See you there!
