SUMMARY:Register now: Free Public Talk on Neurodiversity and Research
DESCRIPTION:April marks Autism Acceptance Month\, an important opportunity to move beyond awareness and focus on meaningful inclusion.   \nAs understanding of neurodiversity grows\, so too does recognition of the need for research that better reflects and supports neurodivergent communities. 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 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

SUMMARY:Regulatory Inspection Ready
DESCRIPTION:This course is aimed at those who deliver research in a healthcare setting either in a Sponsor team or as a Host\, and that maybe subject to regulatory inspection. Preparation for Inspection is critical but compliance driven from preparation rather than from quality systems can lead to poor practice and Inspection findings. \nLast minute changes just prior to a visit can be very unhelpful and in some cases misleading and so this course will help delegates understand how to become inspection-ready for any inspection. Delegates will learn strategies that build confidence for an inspection from any of the regulators for example the MHRA\, Human Tissue Authority or Human Embryology & Fertilisation Authority. \nMore 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!
