The NHS Python Community (NHS.pycom) promoted the use of Python and open source code in the NHS and wider healthcare sector, and has since become part of the NHS-OA Community. Its YouTube channel has recordings of its own events, including:
- Show-and-tell sessions - such as Python in the Clinic and Saving life and learning from death with Python, where clinicians and analysts shared projects using Python
- Introductions to Python and machine learning - such as an introduction to Python for data analysis and data science, and the basics of machine learning
- Talks on good practice - such as software engineering for data scientists, and reproducible analytical pipelines (RAP)
- Joint events with the NHS-R Community - such as NHS.Pycom X NHS-R in February 2022
Recordings of the Python track of the 2022 NHS-R Community Conference are listed with the NHS-OA Community’s conference recordings instead.
