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

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 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.

The aim of the course is to improve the standards of basic semen analysis. It is an international course, aimed at laboratories outside the Nordic countries. Two persons from each laboratory - one with medical responsibility (“supervisor”) and one engaged in practical laboratory work (“technician”) - are encouraged to participate in the course.

Speakers:

Dr Lars Björndahl, Dr Meurig Gallagher, and Professor Jackson Kirkman-Brown

Fee includes lectures and guided, printed handouts of presentations, practical exercises, lab coats, get together party, lunches and coffee/tea.

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

The aim of the course is to teach clinicians new techniques for root canal preparation and obturation. They will familiarize themselves with a range of instruments which maintain the root canal shape and also learn how to choose the cases that are suitable to be used with these techniques.

• Learn about root canal anatomy and root canal preparation
• Understand the principles of root canal obturation
• Learn about sealer properties
• Learn how to choose suitable cases for each technique
