Keynote speakers: Professor Dame Sally Davies, Chief Medical Officer for England and Professor Anders Hjern, Professor of Paediatric Epidemiology, Centre for Health Equity Studies (CHESS), Stockholm University/Karolinska Institutet.

Date: 1 February 2017

Venue: Kennedy Lecture Theatre, UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health, London

Organisers: Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health’s Population, Policy and Practice Programme, in partnership with the Children’s Policy Research Unit* 

This event brings together leading researchers and policy makers from the fields of health, education and social care, to show how routinely collected 'big data' can improve services for vulnerable adolescents.

We will focus on the public health and individual burden of adolescent vulnerability, including its immediate and far reaching consequences, and on improving and evaluating services for this group of young people - all using routinely collected data.

#datasaveslives You will also have the opportunity to meet Farr Institute researchers who will be exhibiting case studies relevant to child and adolescent health in their 100 Ways of Using Data to Make Lives Better campaign. 

The day will finish with a panel discussion on how to best use data to improve services and outcomes.
