    Dear Colleagues

    See below for details on an online "Health Statistics Refresher" course. This is not aimed at already qualified statisticians, but you might want to pass it on to colleagues working in research who have done some statistics but need a refresher.

    Our statistics refresher course, which runs virtually over two half-days, is for people who have had some practical experience with statistics or some undergraduate statistics training. The course focuses on simple study designs and some common mistakes, with a range of practical exercises throughout the day.

    This course focuses on the choice of what statistics to use and interpretation of the output (practicalities of running analyses and the use of software are not covered in this course).

    Who is this course designed for?

    Healthcare professionals (all levels of experience and background are welcome), policy makers, academics and students.

    Testimonials

    • Finally! Someone who explains statistics not just clearly, but in a non-boring fashion.
    • Best training course I have ever done! I have very little training in statistics and was worried some/most would go over my head. This was not the case and I attribute this to the teaching style – Adrian made it very easy to understand, using real life/tangible examples. Excellent course.
