The Medical Statistics Department at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine will be running a short course in clinical trials.

This course provides attendees with a clear understanding of the fundamental principles of Randomised Clinical Trials (RCTs). Lectures and practical sessions cover the key issues to be considered in design, conduct, analysis and reporting, with a focus on major clinical trials which directly influence clinical practice. Topics are addressed with perspectives from both public sector research and the pharmaceutical industry.

The course is relevant to those who are keen to gain an understanding of the rigorous evaluation of interventions in health care including clinical research professionals, research managers and other scientists with an interest in clinical trials.

Places on the course are limited. Only a few places remain available.

The course runs for 5 days from the 13th to 17th June 2016.

The course has been approved by the Federation of the Royal College of Physicians of the UK for 30 category 1 (external) CPD credits.
