This 2-day course will provide a detailed understanding of the importance of PROs in clinical trials and best practices for their selection and successful incorporation into a trial. The course will also consider the capture of PROs, their analysis and reporting and how their impact on clinical practice can be maximised.

This 2-day programme will focus on the management of trials from the perspective of the Principal Investigator and the site delivery team. 

This 5-day, hands-on course is designed to provide microbiologists with the ability to perform high-level analysis of microbial genomic data sets, regardless of background knowledge or ability. A mixture of seminars from world leading researchers, discussion fora and guided training will provide participants with the skills and knowledge required to plan, design, and analyse data from microbial genomics-based investigations.

This course is targeted towards Clinical Oncology Registrars working towards passing the Physics module of the FRCR Oncology Part 1. It can also be used by trainee Consultant Therapeutic Radiographers and other staff groups (within Clinical Oncology specialty) who may have an interest.

The key learning outcomes are to gain an understanding of:

• The interaction of ionising radiation with matter
• How a desired dose distribution is produced, calculated and quality assured
• How the dose of unintended radiation can be minimised for patients and staff

This on-line event is for trainees and consultants in endocrinology and other relevant specialities and aims to enhance knowledge on the diagnosis and management of bone and mineral disorders including osteoporosis, primary hyperparathyroidism, hypoparathyroidism, osteogenesis imperfecta and rare skeletal and mineral disorders. Challenging cases in bone and mineral metabolism will also be discussed.

This event has been endorsed by the Society for Endocrinology. 

The content will be made available for 30 DAYS ONLY after the live session, and you can access this through the log in information sent to you via e-mail prior to the start date.
