Many health and medical researchers use experiments in their research in order to improve treatments and patient care. These experiments rely on researchers collecting high quality data and understanding what statistical methods to use.

Bad practice has been cemented by journals that rarely use statistical reviewers.

Best training course I have ever done! I have very little training in statistics and was worried some/most would go over my head. This was not the case and I attribute this to the teaching style – Adrian made it very easy to understand, using real life/tangible examples. Excellent course.
