This online course provides a thorough foundation of statistical methods for developing and validating risk prediction and prognostic models in healthcare research. 

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

This three-day online statistical course provides a detailed foundation of the methods and principles for meta-analysis when IPD (Individual Participant Data) are availble from multiple related studies. 

This 3-day Face - to - face course in research methods for clinical trials organised by the Birmingham Centre for Clinical Trials (BCCT) provides an overview of the research process from idea and design to analysis and publication.  This programme will be designed to combine the theoretical aspects of trial design and delivery with opportunities to apply knowledge to practice.

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 CPD course introduces social marketing as a framework for developing behaviour and social change programmes applied to public health issues. It is aligned with UoB’s “Education for sustainable futures” strategic pillar, as social marketing is deeply rooted in equity, social justice, ethics, and sustainability principles.

Location: online course and/or in-person workshop (University of Birmingham Dubai, International Academic City, United Arab Emirates)

This short 3-day or 5-day on-line course will provide training in the design, conduct and analysis of cluster randomized trials (CRTs) and stepped-wedge cluster randomized trials (SW-CRTs). Delivered by faculty of the University of Birmingham including Karla Hemming, Sam Watson and James Martin. With guest speaker Anges Caille (INSERM, France) who will give an overview of the bias issues raised by cluster randomised trials.

Despite their many benefits, IPD meta-analyses of randomised trials are challenging, time consuming, and require a broad set of methods and skills. This two-day online course uses a combination of talks, interactive activities, external speakers, and one-to-one ‘meet the expert sessions’ to improve your knowledge and skills in the design and practical delivery of IPD meta-analysis projects. It covers the steps involved and will help you decide whether an IPD meta-analysis is likely to be worth the investment. Whilst examples focus on clinical trials, the course will also be relevant for other types of IPD meta-analyses.

The course is designed for researchers seeking to apply rigorous  methods  to systematic reviews and meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy studies.

Course delivery will include sessions where key content, theory and examples will be presented and self-directed or small group activities where you will have the opportunity to apply this knowledge and ask questions.

This educational event covers an unmet need on dedicated courses on adrenal tumours in endocrinology and other related specialties (this year, it will cover primary aldosteronism). The attendees will gain knowledge on these topics and on the relevant research findings of those delivering the course.

This CPD-accredited module provides a structured introduction to conventional flow cytometry, spectral flow cytometry, and mass cytometry. It covers core principles, instrumentation, health and safety, and cell sorting, with a focus on practical understanding.

Learning is supported through narrated lectures, graded quizzes, and a final assessment. Participants have two months of access to the materials, followed by an optional live demonstration and Q&A session. Successful completion of the module leads to the award of a CPD certificate
