Learning to RAP
Thirty-nine area profile documents for Highland and Argyll and Bute, published and updated from a single pipeline, and used by local planning groups.
One group noted their area profile was insightful but also raised the worrying issue of an ageing population in a rural area.
It started as a series of numbered scripts run in strict order, and became a targets pipeline with parquet storage.
Although the pipeline is complex, colleagues who aren't experienced in R can run it from a short script and can reproduce the documents successfully.
The topics include Demography and deprivation, Adult health and wellbeing, and Children and young people's health and wellbeing. Updated documents are in progress, but the first suite of reports are all available on the NHS Highland website.
