What is the Data Quality Guild?

The Data Quality Guild is your network of data quality practitioners. It's for data quality people to share issues, problems, and, most importantly, solutions.

It has an online community (see How do I get involved?) open to anyone in health and social care involved in data quality. We expect that you'll want to form specialist communities within the Guild, and there'll be tools to help you to do that.

But you've also told us that many data quality issues happen at the interfaces between organisations and systems – which is why the Guild will welcome everyone involved.

What's in it for me?

As a Guild member you'll have access to tools and people who can help you to improve your organisation's data quality. You'll be able to refer your data quality issues to The Data Quality Clinic for investigation and resolution.

You'll also be able to help other Guild members by sharing your knowledge, expertise and best practice with them.
