Hi everyone

Instats is excited to offer a 2-day seminar, Introduction to Hospital Episode Statistics <https://instats.org/seminar/introduction-to-hospital-episode-statist>, running livestreaming Nov 6 ? 7 and led by experts from UCL's Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health. Designed for researchers, analysts, and policymakers who work with or plan to use HES data, this interactive course walks you through every step of the process: how hospital episodes are collected and coded, the structure of inpatient, outpatient, and A&E datasets, best-practice techniques for cleaning and managing large-scale extracts in Stata or R, and practical approaches for safeguarding anonymity while publishing results. You will explore the strengths and weaknesses of HES, uncover common sources of data inconsistencies, and leave with reusable scripts, simulated datasets, and the confidence to carry out basic descriptive analyses that stand up to academic and applied scrutiny.

Sign up today <https://instats.org/seminar/introduction-to-hospital-episode-statist> to master the fundamentals of HES and accelerate your health-services research.


Best wishes
