A reminder and final chance to register for this seminar taking place in Manchester next Wednesday. A joint meeting between the Royal Statistical Society (RSS) Medical and Statistics & the Law Sections. A lot of research into causes of deaths for different population and patient groups use data that were not collected for such a purpose. There are particular caveats to how causes are coded within hospital and death certificate registration data that need to be acknowledged, in order to correctly interpret such analyses. The RSS Medical and Stats & the Law Sections have organised an afternoon of talks on these caveats and challenges. --------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wednesday 19 October 2016, 01:30pm - 05:00pm Location: Blackett Lecture Theatre, Schuster Building, Brunswick Street, University of Manchester The confirmed speakers and programme is: 13:30 – 14:15 “A coroner’s perspective on the conclusion of suicide.” Mr Michael Singleton (Senior Coroner for Blackburn, Hyndburn & Ribble Valley and lead coroner for the UK Disaster Victim Identification Cadre of Advisory Coroners): 14:15 – 15:00 “One to two children per week?
