Hybrid Summer School: Introduction to Statistics with R

This five-day summer school introduced participants to the fundamental principles of statistics and to ways of conducting their own analysis, including significance tests and linear regression techniques, in R.

Introduction to Meta-Analysis

This course provided an overview of meta-analysis from a statistician's point of view and introduced participants to the merits of meta-analysis and how it can form an important and informative part of a systematic review.

Critical Appraisal

In this workshop, participants considered how to critically appraise research papers. Each section in a paper was covered in turn and there was much emphasis on evaluating the collection and analysis of data as described by the authors. Widely available critical appraisal sheets were also discussed.

Introduction to Bayesian Analysis

This course focused on the principles of Bayesian analysis with the aim to enable participants to apply Bayesian methods on their own research and understand other people's results via Bayesian analysis.

Further Topics in R

This course introduced participants already familiar with the basics of the R programming language to more advanced R code structures such as conditional commands, loops, merging datasets and building new functions.

Chi-square and Beyond for 2x2 Tables

This course demystified the range of statistics that can be used to summarise the associations between two binary variables. Participants moved on from the standard chi-square test to investigate other options that may yield more useful information.

Problems with Secured Transactions

The purpose of this course was to examine the key problems which arise in practice in relation to secured transactions and to discuss how best to deal them. The law of security is part of the law of property: it is concerned with the creation of proprietary interests in assets. But it cannot be understood without an understanding of insolvency law: we take security because of the risk of insolvency. The conceptual background to the course is therefore property law and insolvency law, but they need to be understood in the light of the way in which security is taken in practice. The course covered: Seminar 1 What type of security should I take? Does my transaction need to be registered? Seminar 2 How should I draft the charging clause? How should I draft the secured obligations clause? Seminar 3 Should I be worried about priorities? How can I enforce my security? Seminar 4 What can go wrong on an insolvency? How should I take security over contracts? Seminar 5 Will my guarantee work? How can foreign laws affect my security?

Secured Transactions

IP Licensing Workshop

This course covered The grant clause and associated definitions: which IP, which licensed acts, which field and territory, how much exclusivity; is sublicensing allowed; licence or covenant not to sue; improvements; grant-backs; competition law issues; achieving clarity and accuracy, avoiding circularity and other pitfalls. Warranties, liability and indemnities: understanding the risks and market practice; getting instructions; thinking through the complexities and drafting with simplicity; avoiding turgid ‘standard’ wording. Payment terms: upfront and milestone payments; other fees; royalties on net sales, net receipts or profits; avoiding arithmetic ambiguities; royalty-stacking clauses; withholding tax terms; VAT, interest, and other standard payment terms; auditing and reports; most favoured licensee terms Performance obligations: minimum sales, minimum performance, etc; general obligations of ‘best efforts’, etc; resolving disputes over performance; consequences of non-performance, including termination, loss of exclusivity, changing commercial terms. Termination: commencement and expiry; rights of termination; consequences of termination Law and jurisdiction: choices in international IP agreements, including law, jurisdiction, arbitration, mediation, etc; which is best?

Drafting and Negotiating Clinical Trial Agreements

About this course This practical, one-day course provided a detailed discussion of the legal, regulatory, drafting and practice issues that arise when drafting and negotiating clinical trial agreements (CTAs) and other contractual documents that are encountered when clinical trials are run, e.g. agreements between a sponsor and a clinical research organisation (CRO). The main focus of this course was on helping the drafter and negotiator to navigate the contractual issues. CTAs raise many issues; within the time available (6 hours teaching) we looked at the main issues that, in our experience, tend to arise. We explored UK and EU regulatory issues, as they are important when drafting CTAs, and discussed how and why these affect the terms; but this course was not intended to teach the complex legal framework for the various types of regulated study. Our experience is that clients employ or consult with a regulatory expert when setting up clinical trials, and we work with them to ensure that the appropriate regulatory terms for the individual trial are reflected in the terms of the agreement. You gained the following understanding by attending this course: • What makes CTAs different from other professional services agreements. • The European regulatory framework for trials and how this affects the terms of agreements. • Other laws and regulations affecting CTAs, including data protection, freedom of information, “sunshine” laws, and many other topics. • Standard agreements – governmental, company, etc: when are they used, when are they not; and how are they revised. • Drafting and negotiation issues. • Practical aspects of working with colleagues to get the agreement right. • Other agreements and documents used in clinical trials.

Contract Drafting Skills workshop

"About this course This practical one-day course was designed to help you improve your contract drafting skills. It combined teaching on modern drafting techniques with multiple, practical exercises to help you apply that teaching and improve your drafting. If you are good at general business or legal writing, your skills will get you some of the way to drafting contracts well. But the mix of techniques used in good contract drafting is unique. We discussed when to use and when to reject general writing techniques for contract drafting. By looking at examples of good and bad contract wording, we explored what works and what doesn’t, and how apparently satisfactory wording can be tweaked to remove ambiguities and uncertainties. In doing so, we kept in mind the four Cs - four objectives that are sometimes underrated or overlooked: clarity, correctness (accuracy), conciseness and consistency. We also considered how the courts interpret contracts. It is often better to draft clearly and in a way that avoids litigation, than to focus solely on how to “win” in court. You gained the following skills by attending this course: A better understanding of common drafting mistakes and pitfalls Learnt techniques for drafting clearer contracts Practised your drafting skills by working on multiple, practical exercises"

Strategic Leadership for Healthcare

Health policies and practices frequently change to meet the evolution of healthcare services and public health goals. These health policies impact our practices at the local, national and international levels. Given the highly complex process of filtering health policy changes into our organisations at different levels, it is important to understand the various ways that health policy is shaped, as well as the numerous stakeholders with diverse needs and interests involved.

Health Policy and Practice

The challenges facing health and healthcare are vast, complex and numerous. The Covid-19 pandemic has revealed numerous underlying fragilities in the sector, as well as growing health inequities in underlying risks of ill-health, access to care and outcomes across our populations. Other challenges include rising costs, inefficient management, demographic stresses, complex new technologies and the interface between public and private enterprises. All pose risks and opportunities that must be assessed by healthcare leaders and managers across the health sector.
