*We also offer a 20% discount for bookings of 4 or more people on to the same ScHARR Short Course. Please **email Karen Holden**, for further details of how to book at this discounted rate.* Evidence Synthesis of Qualitative Research In Europe (ESQUIRE) 3 day course - Tuesday 10th - Thursday 12th September 2019 *Overview*: the course will follow the systematic review process as it applies, and is adapted to, qualitative evidence synthesis. The Programme Faculty will take participants through the stages of defining and exploring scope, conducting the literature searches, quality assessing studies for inclusion, synthesising data and writing up and presenting the product of the synthesis. Participants will be provided with practical experience of key stages in the review process. No formal experience is required, working knowledge of standard systematic review methods or a background in qualitative research methods will be an advantage, but not essential. - Qualitative Researchers who want to learn how to synthesise qualitative research - Systematic Reviewers who want to learn how to translate synthesis methods to qualitative data - PhD Students in topic areas that require substantive review of qualitative research - New researchers who want to develop evidence synthesis/systematic review - Qualitative systematic reviewers who want to update and extend their skills and knowledge *Booking for this course will close 28th August 2019* Link to further course information: https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/scharr/shortcourseunit/esquire Advanced Simulation Methods 3 day course - Tuesday 1st - Thursday 3rd October 2019 *Overview:* Within healthcare decision making, cohort Markov models and decision trees are frequently used. However, in some situations these are not the most appropriate modelling methods. This course provides an in-depth review of individual-level simulation rationale, techniques and methodologies with a particular focus on discrete event simulation and its practical application to inform healthcare decision making. From the fundamentals of a basic model the course will progress to modelling complex systems, verification and interpreting output, as well as exploring alternative software options. This course aims to provide participants with the skills required to be able to undertake simulation projects to a professional level. It will be both theoretically-based and practically-based, with the use of the Simul8 software package. It will cover the use of discrete-event simulation to assess the impact of alternative options within a local system with resource constraints and the use of patient-level simulation for health economic modelling. This course is primarily for health economic modellers who want to broaden their skill base, as well as healthcare decision makers who would like to understand more about patient-level simulation and when it might be useful. *Early bird booking rates for this course will close 1st August 2019.* *Standard booking will close on 17th September 2019. * Link to further course information: https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/scharr/shortcourseunit/advancedsimulationmethods *Link to our Online Store, where all of our ScHARR short course bookings are initially processed:* http://onlineshop.shef.ac.uk/conferences-events/faculty-of-medicine-dentistry-and-health/school-of-health-and-related-research-scharr *If you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact the ScHARR Short Course Unit via this email address.* -- *Mrs Karen Holden and Ms Emma Bennett* *Short Courses & Events Officers* *University of Sheffield* *ScHARR* Regent Court 30 Regent Street Sheffield S1 4DA Tel: 0114 222 2968 Fax: 0114 272 4095 http://www.shef.ac.uk/scharr/shortcourseunit You may leave the list at any time by sending the command SIGNOFF allstat to [log in to unmask], leaving the subject line blank.
