The final deadline for registration is 29th May. \nRegister here for the NIHR Statistics Group Conference 2026 \nWe are excited to host a series of fantastic talks and presentations focused on our conference theme this year\, Statistical integrity in health and care research. Our keynote speakers this year are Dr Puja Mehta\, Prof Olivia Wu and Dr Jack Wilkinson. In addition to the excellent line up of posters and rapid fire talks\, the breakout sessions will feature a diversity of topics focused on best practice in areas that include patient and public involvement (PPI) in digital data collection\, multiple imputation\, artificial intelligence in research\, core statistical competencies for postgraduates\, tools to assess RCT trustworthiness\, designing diagnostic medical device trials\, mixed methods research practices\, qPCR experimental design\, methods and analysis in surgical trials\, and much more. \nThe conference will be held in partial hybrid format with bespoke technical support offered by Multicord Events team that will allow us to stream the breakout sessions\, keynotes and rapid-fire talks held in the main conference room only. \nThe provisional programme is available here; please note that this is still subject to change. \nAll are welcome to attend – it will be of relevance to statisticians\, data scientists and those with an active interest in statistics and data science. \nThe main conference will start from 1pm with lunch on Thursday 18th June 2026. \nThe NIHR Statistics Career Development Group are hosting an Early Career Morning on the morning of 18th June from 10:00 to 13:00 prior to the main conference. This will be an opportunity for early career statisticians\, data scientists\, and others interested in quantitative methods\, to find out more about the NIHR Statistics Group and how to make the most of the conference. As well as a brief introduction to the Group\, there will be a series of short talks from invited speakers\, and an exercise to get to know the other attendees. \nA unique feature of the NIHR Statistics Group conference is to provide a forum for applied statisticians to discuss ideas and challenges they encounter\, and much of this discussion takes place within the breakout sessions. Those of you who attended the 2024 conference may remember the breakout session on the MRC-funded International Statistics and Epidemiology Partnership\, which aims to create a fully African-led network of early-mid career applied medical statisticians by 2028. The partnership has just released its first annual newsletter. We are delighted to hear that the partnership is making good progress in achieving its aims; this is exactly the kind of initiative we are keen to support with the conference\, bringing together statisticians to support best practice and encourage networking. \nOne of the break-out sessions to be held at this year’s annual conference will focus on legacy and hand-over and is of particular relevance to anyone who has participated in the Ophthalmology Section or who might like to be going forwards.  If there are any statisticians who have a particular interest in taking over the leadership of this group\, please do attend; if interested but unable to attend the session\, please email catey.bunce@lshtm.ac.uk. \nThe call for poster abstracts is now closed. Thank you to all who submitted their proposals this year\, the organising committee will be in touch shortly. The deadline for submitting accepted posters via our online link (to be supplied separately) is 29th May 2026. \nAccommodation can be booked via the onsite Jonas Hotel\, with a discount code available when registered for the conference. \nWe are looking forward to seeing you in person or virtually in June!

Yet despite increasing attention\, neurodivergent people remain under-represented in many areas of mental health research.  \nJoin us for a special podcast-style panel conversation featuring 3 expert brain and mental health researchers who will explore two complementary perspectives.   \nThe discussion will consider how neurodivergent participants can be more effectively included within broader mental and brain health research\, as well as the importance of designing research projects specifically tailored for neurodivergent communities from the outset.  \nTogether\, we will reflect on the opportunities\, challenges and responsibilities involved in building more inclusive research practices. How can we design studies that are accessible\, respectful and responsive? What does genuine inclusion look like in practice?  \nSpeakers:  \n\nProfessor Clare Mackay is a Professor of Neuroscience at the University of Oxford whose research uses neuroimaging to understand risk for psychiatric and neurodegenerative conditions\, alongside leading translational work through the Oxford Centre for Human Brain Activity and the NIHR Oxford Health Biomedical Research Centre (OH BRC). More recently\, she has developed a significant academic and advocacy focus on body‑focused repetitive behaviours\, including trichotillomania\, working to improve understanding\, reduce stigma and develop better interventions for this under‑served community. \n\n\nDr Eri Ichijo is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Oxford University Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging . Her research aims to improve our understanding of pain experience in the autistic population. She is particularly interested in exploring the relationship between the cognitive modulation of pain and individual differences. \n\n\nDr Alice Quinton is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Oxford’s Department of Experimental Psychology. Her research focuses on interventions for anxiety-related mental imagery (or “flashforwards”) with a particular interest in the experiences of neurodivergent young adults. \n\nQuestions will be put to the speakers by event host Andreia Costa\, Project Manager for Training & Career Development at OH BRC and Chair of the Neurodiversity & Disability Working Group at University of Oxford’s Department of Psychiatry. Andreia is an advocate for the neurodivergent community and hosts the Neurodiverse Voices Connect Podcast.   \n  \nThere are 100 spaces available in the Lecture Theatre\, which will be allocated on a first come basis. \nPlease use this public talk registration form to sign up for a place. \n  \nCoffee is available in the common room from 5:30pm and the event will start promptly at 6:00pm. \nAny questions email: Sophie.Ray@oxfordhealth.nhs.uk  URL:https://oxfordhealthbrc.nihr.ac.uk/oh-event/register-now-free-public-talk-on-neurodiversity-and-research/ LOCATION:Rewley House\, Department for Continuing Education\, 1 Wellington Square\, Oxford\, OX1 2JA CATEGORIES:Better Sleep,Brain Technologies,Data Science,Dementia,Depression Research Centre,Depression Therapeutics,Education and Training,Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI),Flourishing & Wellbeing,Mental Health in Development,Molecular Targets,NIHR,Pain,PPI,Preventing Multiple Morbidities,Psychological Treatments ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://oxfordhealthbrc.nihr.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Public-Talk-Neurodivergence-web-banner.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260325T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260325T154500 DTSTAMP:20260630T190736 CREATED:20260115T104123Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260203T101017Z UID:11271-1774432800-1774453500@oxfordhealthbrc.nihr.ac.uk SUMMARY:Bridging Culture\, Faith\, and Mental Health Research: Improving Engagement with African\, Caribbean and Asian Communities DESCRIPTION:This event aims to build an increased appreciation and understanding of how culture and religion shape perceptions of mental health and research – and how we can use these insights to improve inclusive research practice and engagement strategies. \nThrough a mix of talks\, sharing and workshops\, we’ll explore practical ways to enhance and shift our approach to engaging communities\, discussing where research and PPIEP can be designed in synergy with faith concepts\, making it more relatable and accessible. \nYou’ll leave with tangible approaches and ideas to embed into your work\, strengthening both research quality and community partnerships. \nThis event has originated from the Oxford Health BRC Partners EDI Working Group and is co-hosted with our partners Sheffield Health Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust\, University of Sheffield\, Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust\, University of Birmingham and Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust Clinical Research Facility (CRF)\, and in collaboration with Birmingham BRC. \nWhat to Expect: \n\nExpert Talks & Presentations\n\nDeep-End Research Alliance\, University of Sheffield – Community Researcher Toolkit\nGulamabbas Lakha\, Department of Psychiatry\, University of Oxford\nSACMHA Health & Social Care – community experiences of engaging in Mental Health and Research initiatives\n\n\nWorkshops\, including one facilitated by Youth Advisors from the Midlands Advisory Group (MAG) – Mental Health Mission Midlands Translational Centre\nMarketplace & Networking – Connect with other community organisations\, as well as researchers and community engagement professionals nationally\nReflection & Action – Consolidate insights and plan next steps for inclusive research practice.\nFully catered lunch and refreshments throughout the day\n\nWhy Attend? \n\nUnderstand how cultural and religious factors influence mental health and research participation.\nLearn practical approaches to engage underrepresented communities in research.\nBuild partnerships that strengthen inclusive and impactful research.\n\nWho is it for? \nMental Health Researchers and professionals working in PPIE\, research inclusion or community engagement would benefit most from this event.

You’ll be introduced to fast\, automatic thinking (System 1) and slow\, deliberate thinking (System 2) and use them to map key decision points across the recruitment journey. You’ll identify what can drive early awareness and interest in research\, and what supports a confident\, well-informed decision at consent\, so the recruitment pathway can be designed to be both effective and ethically robust. \nThe workshop includes short reflective exercises to increase awareness of how unconscious bias\, assumptions\, and “snap judgements” can influence the behaviour of research staff. You will leave with practical actions to help move unconscious bias into conscious awareness to help support informed\, inclusive research design. \nBy the end of the workshop\, you will be able to:\n\nIdentify common cognitive biases and where they can show up in recruitment and consent pathways.\nRecognise how cultural and social influences can affect decision-making.\nExplore your own decision-making defaults and use simple techniques to bring fast judgments into awareness.\nApply behavioural science to design clearer\, more motivating participant communications (e.g.\, recruitment adverts).Read more and register URL:https://oxfordhealthbrc.nihr.ac.uk/oh-event/why-people-say-yes-or-no-the-psychology-of-trial-participation/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Education and Training,NIHR ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://oxfordhealthbrc.nihr.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/NIHR-BRC-collabration-workshops.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260225T090000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260225T120000 DTSTAMP:20260630T190736 CREATED:20260211T145649Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260211T145649Z UID:11450-1772010000-1772020800@oxfordhealthbrc.nihr.ac.uk SUMMARY:GCP Consolidation Session DESCRIPTION:The GCP consolidation course is a practical half a day workshop (either face to face\nor virtual).

DESCRIPTION:Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has become a recognised way of tackling tremors in people with Parkinson’s disease. Now this technique – delivering an electrical pulse into the brain – is being explored as a potential treatment for other neurological conditions. \nA new study is looking at whether DBS can help to treat chronic pain in people who have suffered a stroke. Central post-stroke pain is a disabling – and currently untreatable – condition which affects areas of the brain and central nervous system that process pain signals. \nIn this public talk\, Alex Green\, Professor of Neurosurgery\, and Ben Seymour\, Professor of Clinical Neuroscience\, will discuss the EPIONE study\, which is investigating whether DBS could be used to treat CPSP\, and discuss whether DBS might be a way of tackling other brain-related conditions.\nThe EPIONE study (Effective Pain Interventions with Neural Engineering) is supported by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Oxford and Oxford Health Biomedical Research Centres (BRC)\, who are jointly organising this talk. \nFREE entry\, no booking required. \nRefreshments from 5.40pm\, for a 6pm start. \n  URL:https://oxfordhealthbrc.nihr.ac.uk/oh-event/free-public-talk-can-electrodes-in-the-brain-treat-chronic-pain/ LOCATION:Rewley House\, Department for Continuing Education\, 1 Wellington Square\, Oxford\, OX1 2JA CATEGORIES:NIHR,Pain ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://oxfordhealthbrc.nihr.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/web-banner-sm.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260203T133000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260203T150000 DTSTAMP:20260630T190736 CREATED:20260109T112924Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260109T112924Z UID:11224-1770125400-1770130800@oxfordhealthbrc.nihr.ac.uk SUMMARY:Socio-economic disadvantage inclusion training DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Barts BRC \nWe’re delighted to invite you to an informative session (online) on practical tools for socio-economic disadvantage inclusion in health research. This event is a fantastic opportunity to enhance your approach to including people and communities from diverse ethnicities in your research. \nSpeakers: \nDr Heidi Green is a Health Equity and Patient Involvement Specialist and a Creative Qualitative Researcher who co-developed the NIHR INCLUDE Socio-economic disadvantage framework\, which has been designed to aid researchers\, who are designing clinical trials\, to consider barriers to including patients from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds in their trial. The framework can also help researchers to develop strategies to attempt to address such barriers in order to improve the design and conduct of clinical research. \nWith over a decade of experience leading the design and delivery of innovative and award-winning projects\, Heidi is an experienced health equity specialist\, creative qualitative researcher\, and lived experience advocate. Her mission is to embed accessibility and inclusivity into all of the projects she’s involved in\, driving change for those that stand to benefit most. \n\nA Barts Biomedical Research Centre researcher (TBC) will present on how they have included socially disadvantaged communities in their research.\nThere will be lots of opportunities for you to ask questions from experienced and knowledgeable speakers to support your research.\n\nThese sessions are for:  \nResearch staff affiliated with the following Biomedical Research Centres: Barts\, Birmingham\, Cambridge\, Moorfields\, Oxford and Oxford Health. \nMicrosoft Virtual Events Powered by Teams URL:https://oxfordhealthbrc.nihr.ac.uk/oh-event/socio-economic-disadvantage-inclusion-training-2/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Education and Training,Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI),NIHR ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://oxfordhealthbrc.nihr.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/funded-by-NIHR.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260128T090000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260128T130000 DTSTAMP:20260630T190736 CREATED:20251201T113121Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251205T104555Z UID:11006-1769590800-1769605200@oxfordhealthbrc.nihr.ac.uk SUMMARY:Informed consent DESCRIPTION:This half-day workshop explores the informed consent process. \n*NIHR login required* \nMore information.
