Rosie joined HDR UK as Head of Training in October 2021 to help develop training and learning opportunities to nurture the skills of new and existing health data scientists. This is of fundamental importance to HDR UK which, as the national institute for health data science, wants to ensure that talented people from every background and all four home nations can thrive in this rapidly-advancing field.

One of her key roles is to lead on the HDR UK Futures digital learning platform which is significantly advancing training and education in health data science.

Rosie graduated from the University of Birmingham with a degree in biological sciences in 2013 before going on to work for a wildlife and conservation charity, doing a stint in PR, then spending three years with the Royal Society of Biology. While at the RSB she helped shape the society’s professional development offering by organising its suite of online and in-person training courses and leading other initiatives for example its work around apprenticeships, laying the foundations for her position at HDR UK.
