Dear colleagues, The EQUATOR Network initiative works to improve the quality of health research reporting, including the reporting of trials and systematic reviews (http://www.equator-network.org/). We are organising two events in Bristol on 3rd October 2011: Seminar on reporting randomised trials and EQUATOR Annual Lecture (http://www.equator-network.org/courses-events/). These events precede the MRC conference on RCT methodology but they are independent and anyone may attend. I would be very grateful if you could help us spread the information around and share the announcement below with your colleagues. Thank you very much in advance for your help! With kind regards, Iveta Simera **** EQUATOR seminar: Getting your trial published: CONSORT 2010 and other reporting guidelines Date: Monday 3 October 2011, 14:00 – 17:30 Location: Bristol Marriott Hotel City Centre, Conservatory Room, Bristol, UK Target audience: Clinical and non-clinical professionals involved in planning, conducting and publishing randomised trials in health research.
