OMOP Special Interest Group Inaugural Meeting
The UK Health Data Research Alliance is convening a Special Interest Group devoted to the OMOP Common Data Model, which will support the user community, including both those who are transforming data to OMOP, and those who are using transformed data for research. We hope that the group will provide a forum for users to share knowledge, experience, and tools. We are working in collaboration with related groups, such as the new UK OHDSI Node and the European Health Data Evidence Network (EHDEN).

Our inaugural meeting will be will be co-chaired by Dani Prieto-Alhambra (Professor of Pharmaco- and Device Epidemiology, University of Oxford) and Geoff Hall (Professor of Digital Health, University of Leeds). It will be a virtual event (on Zoom), lasting about 90 minutes.
