Course - London, United Kingdom
 
This course is an introduction of basic statistical concepts fundamental to clinical research, for professionals who have regular exposure to statistics.
This course is designed to be an introduction of basic statistical concepts fundamental to clinical research, for professionals who have regular exposure to statistics either through studies or professional experience. The materials cover many key statistical topics, such as the interpretation of odds ratios and hazard ratios, meta-analysis and non-inferiority studies. While the course includes a few formulae for individuals who are interested in computational details, the course emphasises the application of statistical concepts to clinical investigation.
What participants from previous course say:
"Very good! Loved the Smarties "clinical trial"! :) Critical Literature Review workshop was especially informative".
"Very good instructors".
"I enjoyed the course and learned a lot – Thanks!!"
What You Will Learn:
Basic statistical principles pertinent to clinical research.
Who Should Attend:
This course will particularly benefit professionals who must understand and work with statistical concepts related to clinical research. It assumes a basic understanding of statistics (either through professional experience or studies) roughly equivalent to an introductory statistics course.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, participants should be able to:
- Discuss basic statistical concepts such as variability, confidence intervals, hypotheses testing and P-values.
- Use basic statistical terminology with ease.
- Distinguish various study designs and identify techniques to avoid bias.
- Recognise critical statistical issues in design and analysis.
- Differentiate between a superiority and a non-inferiority design and know how each design should be reported.
