The third episode of the "Tyfano: Unravelling Data Mysteries" features Dave Callow, Chief Information Officer at NHS Professionals as the guest speaker.

• Ethical Considerations: The conversation touches on the ethics of data usage. Dave underscores that just because an organisation can use data in a certain way doesn't mean it should.
