Apologies for any cross-posting. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS OF DIRECT, INDIRECT AND MIXED TREATMENT EVIDENCE 17-19 April 2013, University of Glasgow The Health Economic and Health Technology Assessment (HEHTA) Unit at the University of Glasgow is running a three-day workshop on conducting systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Through a series of lectures and hands-on workshops (using Stata and WinBUGS), this course will cover the principles and practice of conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis of a variety of measures of treatment effects. In addition, participants will learn the important aspects of network meta-analysis, going beyond traditional pairwise techniques when comparing multiple treatment options. The course is suitable for clinicians, health service researchers and other healthcare professionals who are involved in the undertaking or reviewing of systematic reviews and meta-analyses, as a piece of independent work or an integral part of a health technology assessment. Participants should have knowledge of basic study design in research. A basic appreciation of medical statistics would be helpful, as would basic knowledge of Stata and WinBUGS. A one day 'Introduction to Stata' is available on 16 April 2013 for those less familiar with the software. More information can be found on the HEHTA webpage - http://www.gla.ac.uk/researchinstitutes/healthwellbeing/research/hehta/continuingprofessionaldevelopment/ Further details and booking information are available from Caroline Cecil at [log in to unmask]
