Welcome to our brand new podcast - Python They Wrote! The official podcast of the NIHR ARC South West's Health Service Modelling Associates (HSMA) Programme (https://hsma.co.uk). Python They Wrote is a celebration of modelling and data science in healthcare, and features interviews with past and presents students of our HSMA programme talking about real world applied data science in the the health service.

In this first episode, we introduce the HSMA programme to our listeners, before interviewing one of our alumni - the wonderful Kayleigh Haydock (Artificial Intelligence and Data Science Specialist at Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust). We talk to Kayleigh about her career to date, her journey into the world of computing and data science, her experience of the HSMA programme and her pioneering new data science role in the South West of England.

We also put Kayleigh through her paces in our brand new regular games - Punder Pressure and Murder Did She Write? Find out whether her pun and murder deduction skills were up to the task!
