Throughout the three-day course, delegates will learn about the theory, relevance and value of qualitative research in all stages of a clinical trial as well as gain an appreciation of different types of qualitative methodology used in clinical trials. We will primarily focus on clinical trials but will also consider qualitative research as part of feasibility studies that can be used to test interventions in preparation for a large clinical trial.}

Following its inception in 2010 as a small scale study day held at Nottingham University Hospitals, the Symposium on Primary Breast Cancer in Older Women has now become a biennial event, the only one of its kind in the UK.

Since 2013, it has been hosted by The University of Nottingham under the auspices of the International Society of Geriatric Oncology (SIOG).

We welcome members of multidisciplinary clinical and research teams with an interest in this area, including breast surgeons, oncologists, geriatricians, pathologists, clinical nurse specialists, researchers, and their trainees, as well as patient advocates.

The course introduces the key considerations when designing and conducting a randomised clinical trial. The course is split into two Modules: Module 1 is Trial Design and Module 2 is Trial Conduct.
