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 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.

On this course you will learn how to appraise existing evidence about AI health technologies and how to generate local evidence to support decision-making in a specific setting. You will also gain an understanding of the different forms of risk that AI health technologies pose for healthcare providers and the principles and practicalities that influence how those risks are managed.

Best practices in these key areas are emerging, with limited capabilities across many UK and global healthcare providers. Because of the interdisciplinarity and novelty of the challenges posed by AI governance and evaluation in healthcare, this course is accessible for a wide range of applicants. This practice-oriented module is grounded in the faculty’s recent or active research in the UK, US and elsewhere. You will develop competencies that enable you to bring organisations up to date to efficiently deliver safe, effective and fair AI-enabled healthcare.

Provisional Dates - 25th January 2027 - 29th January 2027

This introductory course aims to orientate you to the regulatory landscape in which healthcare technologies sit. This will include an introduction to relevant regulatory bodies and their scope, the classification systems applied to healthcare technologies and the standards and processes which are used to evaluate these technologies across their lifecycle. These insights will enable you to understand the demands of regulations upon manufacturers and adopters as they plan their innovation activities. Students will also develop the foundation for further training in standards auditing and other professional roles in healthcare quality.

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.

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

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.
