To be held across two consecutive half-days (09.15-13.00)

6-7 November 2025

To be held online (via MS Teams). 

The course introduces the different types of data which can be collected in a clinical trial, simple methods of summarising and presenting these, common statistical tests and what their results mean, information on how the number of participants needed in a clinical trial is calculated, and discussions on how results can be interpreted. Mathematical formulae are kept to a minimum.  

This meeting summarises the most recent evidence from systematic reviews, recently completed clinical trials and other studies on the management of Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS). We will have international and UK experts in one place (online) to share and discuss treatments for HS and associated guidelines. There will be the usual opportunity to ask questions and discuss best practice.

Remember you can submit your question for the Q&A session either on booking or email your question by 5 May.

The Nottingham Systematic Review Course is aimed at enabling participants to become proficient in developing and undertaking a Cochrane-style systematic review of interventions and a diagnostic test accuracy review. As this is an introductory course, no previous knowledge of systematic reviewing is required.

The course utilises a combination of lectures, small group discussions, workshops and library-based interactive tutorials, with hands-on practical work at computer stations using Review Manager (RevMan) and reference management software. RevMan is the software used for preparing and maintaining Cochrane Reviews.

The Diagnostic Test Accuracy workshop is aimed at healthcare practitioners, health services researchers, methodologists, scientists and other researchers who wish to conduct or appraise systematic reviews and meta-analyses of DTA studies; or those who use DTA reviews for making clinical and policy decisions about diagnostic tests.

Systematic reviews of diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) summarise evidence from primary studies that evaluate the accuracy of diagnostic tests. This introductory course will provide an overview of the steps in conducting a DTA systematic review. The interactive course will be a combination of presentations, group work and computer exercises.

Education and training course on Upper GI Endoscopy and endoscopic treatment of early Barrett's neoplasia.

Overview
This one day course will introduce you to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in dermatology research and help you when critically appraising the literature in this field with an emphasis on image-based studies that are common in dermatology.  We will give examples of how AI can be used effectively in dermatological research.  By having access to published papers, you will gain insight into how to identify common errors particularly in diagnostic studies and systematic reviews that use AI.  You will also have a chance to use AI to present information.

Who is it for? 
This interactive fun course is tailored to the needs of healthcare professionals working in dermatology.  It is suitable for anyone who needs to read or write scientific papers in this field, and present information to colleagues, management, external organisations or the general public.  No prior experience of using AI is needed.  In order to make the workshop as interactive as possible, spaces will be limited to 24.

The course will be delivered on-line Friday 13th June 2025 9.30 to 4.00 .

Cancellation policy
Registrations can be cancelled up to 2 weeks before the commencement of the course (i.e. on or before 30th May 2025) and will be eligible for a full refund.  No refunds for cancellations will be made after this time.
