The 1,000 Nurse-led Research Global Challenge is intended to reach nurses, midwives, and community health workers in low-resource settings, managing diseases of poverty to enable them to design and complete a pragmatic and achievable study within their care setting: from setting the research question, running the study, right through to taking the findings up into practice and sharing their recommendations.
whyqd (/wɪkɪd/) is a curatorial toolkit intended to produce well-structured and predictable data for research analysis. It provides an intuitive method for schema-to-schema data transforms for research data reuse, and for restructuring ugly data to conform to a standardised metadata schema. It supports data managers and researchers looking to rapidly, and continuously, ensure schema interoperability for tabular data using a simple series of steps. Once complete, you can import wrangled data into more complex analytical systems or full-feature wrangling tools.

Healthcare institutions are busy places. A 400-bed hospital can see hundreds of thousands of patients a year. Millions of blood tests will be taken, analysed and the results sent back for diagnosis and medical intervention. The chance of error is small, often only 2 in every 1,000 tests, but the consequences can be enormous. And, with so many tests being processed, even a small chance of error means that thousands take place in every hospital, every year.
