Geographic info systems & spatial data with applications to health
25/07/2025 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Where people live shapes their health. Maps show how and why.
In this Health Data Research UK Webinar Ollie Thwaites will introduce geographic information systems (GIS) and some of the common data types. He will then explain how exposure can be defined and coded, ending with some spatial analysis techniques.
Rebecca Pedrick-Case will talk about the technical aspects of large scale data linkage and experience with projects that have used this data.
