SUMMARY:NIHR Statistics Group Conference
DESCRIPTION:Location: The Edge\, Sheffield | Date: 18-19 June 2026 \nRegistration for the conference is now open! \nThe early bird registration deadline is Friday 27th March. \nAfter this date\, the fee will rise from £105 to £130 per day. 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!

SUMMARY:Integrating the Lived Experience and Voices of Children and Young People in Weight Management
DESCRIPTION:This session will provide an overview of the why and how the voices of young people are so critical in weight management research and service evaluation. We will share learning from the NIHR funded ENHANCE study which has evaluated the NHS complications in excess weight clinics for children and young people including: \n\nHow they set up the ENHANCE ARROWS – lived experience group of diverse young people\, and how they have been integral to every stage of the study.\nDiscuss practical considerations and learning from the work\nShowcase the outputs and impacts generated by the ARROWS\n\nThe session will finish with an introduction to the Obesity Voices Hub – a lived experience hub that promotes and supports the meaningful integration of lived experience into policy\, practice and research\, and how we hope the ARROWS will help to expand this hub to further represent young people’s voices in future work. \nNext steps and further information: \nYou can register using the following link: Webinar Registration – Zoom \nOnce registration closes\, further details will be sent to everyone who has reserved a ticket. \nThe event lasts for 1 hour with a 30-minute presentation and 30 minutes allocated for Q&A. \nThe event will be recorded and shared with those who have registered as well as publicly on our NIHR platforms and may be downloaded in countries where data protection legislation differs from the UK. \nFor any queries please contact netspublic@nihr.ac.uk

SUMMARY:Socio-Economic Disadvantage Inclusion in Health Research
DESCRIPTION:We’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. \nSpeaker \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. \nThere will be lots of opportunities for you to ask questions from experienced and knowledgeable speakers to support your research. \nCASE STUDIES: \nCase Study 1: Reducing Health Inequalities Through Co-Designed\, Integrated Care Presented by Victoria Stalker\, Project Manager\, and Dr Nimra Khan\, Post-doctoral Researcher\, the ⁠Co-PICS study aims to improve care for people from diverse backgrounds living with psychosis and long-term physical health conditions. The project seeks to reduce health inequalities by first exploring individuals’ lived experiences and then co-designing clinical tools and training resources informed by those insights\, supporting more integrated and inclusive care across services. \n⁠Case Study 2: Embedding Inclusive Research Practices in Brain Health Studies Dr Sana Suri\, Associate Professor at the University of Oxford\, Department of Psychiatry will share how insights from having previously attended Heidi’s session have influenced the design of the ⁠SABHEE study (Stories About Brain Health and Ethnicity)\, a qualitative project exploring brain health in British South Asian adults. Drawing on the NIHR INCLUDE framework\, the study reflects an ongoing shift towards more inclusive and culturally responsive research practices. \nThese sessions are for: \nResearch staff affiliated with the following Biomedical Research Centres: Barts\, Birmingham\, Cambridge\, Moorfields\, Oxford and Oxford Health. \nLimited spaces available. \nRegistration link
