NHS-R Community Conference 2022: Call for Abstracts

0%
 
The NHS-R Community is running its fifth annual conference in November 2022.

The main conference is on 16-17 November 2022 (Edgbaston Cricket Ground, Birmingham UK). The main conference will be a hybrid event where delegates and speakers can come in person or join on-line. The main conference event will be preceeded by online (only) workshops from 1-10 November 2022.

The aim of the NHS-R Community is to promote the use of R (+ other open source solutions) to health and care. We are looking for abstracts which support this aim. We would like to have a diverse range of speakers from newbies to knowbies covering training, applications (small or large), modelling, automation, personal reflections, strategic/tactical issues etc. 

This year we are also pleased to welcome submissions based on Python. Python presentations are scheduled for a parallel session on the 17 Nov which will be in-person, but at this moment in time because of resource constraints we are unsure if the Python track will also be hybrid - we will clarify this in due course.
  • So please consider presenting at the conference, by completing this form and submitting it to us by Monday 1 August 2022 (5pm) by 21 Aug 2022 (5pm)
  • Please fill in one presentation topic per form. If you have more than one presentation topic, then please submit multiple forms.
  • We will review the abstracts and respond back to you by Friday 16-Sep-2022.
We look forward to your submission. Feel free to get in touch via slack if you have any questions or need any advice/help with your submission.
