SUMMARY:What we Carry: Living with Pain
DESCRIPTION:What We Carry is a collaborative art-science project led by artist Marysa Dowling \, OH BRC\, the University of Oxford and the Chronic Pain Neurotechnology Network+. \nIt uses photography and creative expression to make the invisible experience of chronic pain visible. \nBy helping people articulate what is often misunderstood or difficult to verbalise\, the project offers a powerful platform for exploring the emotional and social dimensions of living with pain. \nThe What We Carry:Living with Pain in person exhibition will continue at the Churchill Hospital from 16th May – 26th June 2026. \nFor more information: Whatwecarry online and/or our Pain Theme web page Oxford Health BRC Pain Theme.

SUMMARY:HealTAC 2026 Workshop
DESCRIPTION:HealTAC 2026 Workshop: From patient narratives to insights: applying text analytics to scalable lived experience data for new discoveries \nHow do we transform patient narrative data into actionable insights at scale? This interactive two-hour workshop will address how text analytics can be applied to lived experience data at scale. By bringing text analytics scientists together with behavioural scientists\, qualitative researchers\, people with relevant lived experiences (PERLEs)\, and other key stakeholders\, we will go beyond analysing clinician-reported data to explore how transdisciplinary collaboration can unlock meaning from large amounts of patient-reported text data. \nThe session will follow the definition of research as a process of investigation leading to new insights that are effectively shared; participants will explore the opportunities\, challenges and next steps required for the application of text analytics to patient voices at scale. \nFull information and registration.

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!
