SUMMARY:Health Statistics Refresher
DESCRIPTION:Our Health Statistics Refresher course\, which runs virtually over two half-days\, is for people who have had some practical experience with statistics or some undergraduate statistics training. The course focuses on simple study designs and some common mistakes\, with a range of practical exercises throughout the day. \nThis course focuses on the choice of what statistics to use and interpretation of the output (practicalities of running analyses and the use of software are not covered in this course). \nWho is this course designed for? \nHealthcare professionals (all levels of experience and background are welcome)\, policy makers\, academics and students. \nContent overview \n\ncommon mistakes in study designs and statistical analyses\nsample size\nstatistical significance (p<0.05) and confidence intervals\nnon-parametric versus parametric tests\nthe Normal assumption\nthe basics of causal diagrams\nrandomised controlled trials\nintention-to-treat\npre-post designs (before and after studies)\n\nParticipants are requested to bring their own fully-charged laptop. \nTestimonials \n\nFinally! Someone who explains statistics not just clearly\, but in a non-boring fashion.\nBest training course I have ever done! I have very little training in statistics and was worried some/most would go over my head. This was not the case and I attribute this to the teaching style – Adrian made it very easy to understand\, using real life/tangible examples. Excellent course.\n\n\n\nEnrol now for the upcoming virtual course on 29-30 June 2022 (rescheduled from 1 April 2022)

SUMMARY:Developing applied skills in cost-effectiveness analysis
DESCRIPTION:This three-day course will develop applied skills in cost-effectiveness analysis\, each subsequent day will build on knowledge from the previous day. \nA note on Microsoft Excel – your course includes exercises to use the skills that you will be learning. Being familiar with Excel and having some basic skills will make the course more fun\, and more useful\, for you. Feedback from previous courses has led us to encourage everyone attending this course to brush up on their Excel skills. \nThe main things you should be able to understand are: \n\nWriting basic formulae\nCell references – the difference between relative and absolute cell references\nCreating charts (specifically scatter plots) and adding to charts\n\nExcel training menu https://bit.ly/39jWFEf  Participants who haven’t used Excel much before liked the chart and formulas & functions sections – click on the applicable icons on that menu page. \nWe also recommend this link https://bit.ly/2Orm7j5  Participants can learn the difference between relative and absolute cell references\, which will be useful when entering some of the formulas. \nContent Overview \nCourse prerequisites: You must have previously completed the Day 1 course to attend Day 2\, and Days 1 and 2 courses to attend Day 3. We expect attendees to have a good working knowledge of Microsoft Excel. \nDay 1: A beginner’s guide to cost-effectiveness analysis \n\nWhat is cost-effectiveness analysis and why do we do it\nHow to measure costs\nHow to measure health benefits\nInterpreting the results and a review of a published paper\n\nDay 2: Building cost-effectiveness models \n\nDecision trees\nState-based models\nChoosing the data to include in models\n\nDay 3: Evaluating cost-effectiveness models \n\nMaking decisions and uncertainty\nIncluding uncertainty and exploring its impact on decision-making\nPresenting the results\nPostponing a decision and value of information analysis\n\nTestimonials \nDay 1 \n\nAn excellent course. Great pace and mix of theory and practice.\nExtremely interesting and beneficial. The materials were useful and the presentation of the information was clear and helpful. Having practical exercises throughout helped consolidate my understanding.\nFantastic workshop. Not often I walk away having learnt something and excited about what it could add to my research and teaching. Thank you.\nGreat class\, good examples and analogies well worth my time! Wouldn’t change a thing.\nExcellent course experience!\n\nDays 2 & 3 \n\nReally well organised and great practical examples.\nReally great course – very engaging intro to cost effectiveness for someone who came in with no prior knowledge (before day 1).\nSome very useful thought process and excel skills to take to a clinical environment.\n\nEnrol now for the upcoming course Mon-Wed 14-16 March 2022.
