2nd PRESENTATION (at 1.00pm):

Title: “How to design your studies to improve the calibre of health research and the tools designed to help you”
This educational session aims to provide researchers with the information and tools required to design studies which have high methodological quality. Unfortunately in health research we see a lot of effort go into recruiting for trials, gathering data and preparing a manuscript only to see it rejected when submitted for publication due to methodological flaws. Subsequently, this results in poor translation of knowledge and criticism of results by the scientific community. This session will cover the tools which can assist researchers when developing the following types of research; diagnostic/ prognostic studies, case reports/ series, observations studies, randomised studies and systematic reviews.
