Randomised Controlled Trials course: a practical guide to RCT design,
conduct, analysis, interpretation & reporting
Running from 27th to 31st March 2006 at Oriel College, Oxford.
This 5-day course is co-organised by Prof. Doug Altman, Director of the
Centre for Statistics in Medicine (CSM) and Ed Juszczak (senior medical
statistician, CSM) in collaboration with Prof Mike Clarke, (Director) UK
Cochrane Centre; Prof John Geddes, (Director) Centre for Evidence-Based
Mental Health; Dr Peter Brocklehurst, (Director) National Perinatal
Epidemiology Unit; Prof Paul Glasziou, (Director) Centre for Evidence-Based
Medicine and Dr Pat Yudkin, Reader in Medical Statistics, University of Oxford.
The aim of the course is to equip the participants with an appreciation of
the knowledge and practical skills required to design, analyse, interpret,
report and critique a randomised controlled trial. The course will adopt an
innovative, multi-disciplinary approach, integrating clinical epidemiology
with biostatistics. The teaching will adopt a mixture of styles, including
didactic and highly interactive sessions and will use problem-based
learning with the aim of solving learner-identified problems in the design,
analysis, interpretation, reporting and critique of randomised trials. The
course is NOT intended to serve as an introduction to medical statistics
itself.
The course is aimed at individuals interested in furthering their knowledge
of trial methodology or persons planning or actively involved in trials.
Applications are invited from clinical and non-clinical researchers and
other professionals allied to medicine.
