Bio Principal Information Analyst at Public Health Scotland leading the Transforming Publishing Team. Developing Reproducible Analytical Pipelines using open source software and putting customers at the heart of all data products.

Abstract Public Health Scotland is the primary producer of official statistics for the NHS in Scotland and has around 200 public releases of data each year. Production of these statistics using proprietary software can be time consuming, resource-intensive and cumbersome. Reproducible Analytical Pipelines utilises open source tools and combines data science best practice and principles to effectively automate these processes to increase auditability, efficiency and quality. These RAP projects are also produced in the open so there is increased transparency and trust.
