"Great course looking at research methodology and using appropriate statistical methods in order to analyse collected data. Guided through manuscript writing and the essential skills required to gain a publication in a journal. This was a great course and has had a positive impact in the way I conduct my own research to add value to the evidence base"

Ameer, core surgical trainee

"The event was set up to a high standard with a suitable environment and plenty of refreshments available. The programme was organised very well to incorporate only necessary and relevant material. Delivery of the content at the right speed, but also readily available faculty to answer any questions to make sure the pace of the programme was maintained. I really valued the initial outline and objective of the session which was to ultimately have a paper ready for submission by collaborating as a well-oiled machine. We were able to successfully submit a paper. The course delivered and met its objective, and I would highly recommend the course to colleagues"
