Dear All
BURWALLS 2006: FINAL DETAILS AND REGISTRATION FORM
The 2006 Burwalls Meeting of UK Teachers of Medical Statistics will be
held on Wednesday 5th April to
Friday 7th April 2006. This meeting is being organised by Philip
Sedgwick at St. George’s, University of London.
As many of you know, traditionally all UK Medical Schools send a
representative to this annual meeting which has
been held in Bristol for over 20 years. The primary focus of this
meeting is the teaching of medical statistics in
Medical Schools although other sessions of general interest are also
covered.
The cost for the meeting has been set at 180 pounds sterling. Spaces are
limited. Please circulate details to anyone else
whio may be interested. If you would like to attend then I will forward
the registration form, programme plus
session abstracts to you individually via email (I believe that I can
not send attachments to the Allstat list).
All registration forms and money (see booking form) must reach me by
Monday 13th March.
