This course is designed to go beyond the first principles of economic evaluation. Its focus is the development, extension and application of the main issues and techniques for economic evaluation. The material covered by the course includes an in-depth coverage of the components of economic evaluation, such as cost data collection analysis, outcome data analysis, health state valuation in general and discounting issues. Alternative methods for economic evaluation and the relevant frameworks will be discussed with case studies and policy applications. 

The module includes inter-active practical sessions on decision modelling, cost-effectiveness acceptability curves and missing data analysis, in which 'hands-on' application and analysis of alternative approaches used in economic evaluation will be demonstrated with full discussion of the advantages and appropriateness of the alternative techniques. The module concludes with a group-based critical appraisal exercise to consolidate the concepts covered during the week.

Our Adrenal conference returns this year for the fifth time! The event features clinical case simulations followed by case discussions. The clinical simulations are designed to improve Healthcare professionals’ confidence and optimise patient care. It is open to all healthcare professionals worldwide! Before you proceed with registration, please read below:

The session is scheduled for 15th January 2026 from 0830 to 2100 UK time and 16th January 2026 from 0830 to 16:00 UK time. Registration is non-refundable and does not include accommodation. 

You will need WhatsApp installed on your device, preferably your computer or laptop, for the simulation.

Each day, the session includes completing two surveys (pre- and post-SIMBA), solving four cases via WhatsApp, followed by expert discussion and a Q&A session. 

Please note: The event is designed for in-person participation. Due to potential network issues and streaming delays, we cannot guarantee a seamless experience for online attendees and recommend attending in person. However, online participation is available for those who accept these limitations, and you will receive a Zoom link through your moderator on the day.

The Bladder Cancer Research Centre (University of Birmingham) and the Transforming cancer OUtcomes through Research (TOUR) team (King’s College London and Guy’s Hospital) are organising their 8th Bladder Cancer Translational Research Meeting - a fully interactive bladder cancer clinical research meeting led by an international expert panel of clinicians and scientists in the U.K. The forum is designed to bridge the gap between science and clinical practice and will cover the spectrum of bladder cancer research in oncology, urology, nursing, epidemiology, immuno- and molecular biology.

Take advantage of early bird rates, which are available until 31^st  January 2026. After this date, registration prices will increase.

This Winter School is only open to those who have been preapproved to attend.

Aimed at mid-career to senior academics, our winter school  invites attendees to spend 2-days at the Centre for Evidence and Implementation Science. Through a series of talks and dedicated workshops we will work with you to design and develop your research funding application. Prior knowledge of implementation science is required and attendees are required to bring an existing project or proposal to work on during the winter school.

We have devised a programme featuring leaders in implementation science from across the UK. Our programme will feature keynote presentations and invited speakers which highlight how implementation science can be used within a range of research projects and topic areas. There will also be multiple opportunities for networking and an Early Career Research poster competition.

Please use the abstract poster application to submit:

RESILIENCE: GMP EQUIPMENT, MATERIALS HANDLING, AND MANUFACTURING PROCESSES

Quality, risks, and failures are measured and documented in GMP medicines manufacturing. You'll learn how to apply Quality by Design, identify key quality and process factors, and set up strong Quality Management Systems to ensure safe, consistent products.

Topics covered include writing SOPs and electronic batch records, getting ready for audits and inspections, and keeping good documentation. The course also covers how to spot and manage risks, find the root causes of failures, and use CAPA to prevent issues from happening again.
