SUMMARY:MPD Statistics for Data Analysis\, Exploration and Display- PART 1
DESCRIPTION:This Medilink Professional Development event\, the first in a two-part self-contained introductory workshop\, is designed to provide hands-on experience building your understanding and skills in modern statistical methods of analysing\, exploring and displaying both quantitative and qualitative data. \nDelivered by Dr John M. Thompson\, C.Chem.\, F.R.S.C.\, F.R.Stat.Soc.\, this course will help build your confidence in choosing and using appropriate methods\, knowing about the strengths and weaknesses of the methods used. You will also learn how to interpret and effectively present the results of your data explorations and analyses in a meaningful\, sound way. \nYou will be “learning by doing” with tutorial exercises which follow on from each of the presentations and will be able to take away with you copies of all presentations\, tutorial exercises and their solutions for future reference and ongoing practice. \nCourse Content and Key Topics Covered \n– Participate in a specially designed experiment in which you will collect your own measurement data\n– Data exploration and analysis\, offering insight into several fundamentally important statistical concepts and methods\n– Analysis of your measurement data to estimate various types of average and spread of the data and their strengths and weaknesses\n– How to effectively display your data\, using a number of different modern methods\n– Explore important statistical concepts\, what they mean and how to use them in interpreting your data analysis\n– How errors can occur in numerical calculations and how to avoid them\n– Powerful modern ways of exploring and analysing single sets of data. \nFor the workshop\, everyone will use a digital electronic calculator (the Casio fx-83 GT PLUS). Very many useful types of powerful and useful\, modern statistical calculations used can be done straightforwardly without sophisticated software. \n“Learning by doing” in this way means better quality learning and the better development of your understanding applicable when you come to actually using statistical software. \nThe workshop is limited to a maximum of 12 delegates to give an adequate opportunity for personal instruction\, as well as some small group team-working. \nMPD Statistics for Data Analysis\, Exploration and Display – Part Two \nDay two of this course\, held at the MTIC on 14 December will build on what you have learned on the first day by learning methods of exploring\, analysing\, comparing and displaying two sets of data and gain some insights into how that may be extended to more than two sets of data. \nThis enables each delegate to build skills and understanding about many important statistical concepts and methods to be developed further throughout the two parts of this two day workshop. \nDelegate Fees \nMember: £180 + VAT\nNon-member: £230 + VAT \nBook for Part 1 AND Part 2 of this MPD Training Course and receive 10% discount* \n*Both events must be booked together to receive the double deal discount \nTo find out more or register your place\, please contact Sarah Wootton.

SUMMARY:Unlocking funding for your business
DESCRIPTION:Availability of funding options is at an all-time high but it is not always clear what is available and how to apply. Following the Government spending review\, Innovate UK has released its delivery plan and health and life sciences is again one of their priority sectors. September sees the launch of the Health and Life Sciences open funding competition\, allowing all businesses within that sector of any size to submit their innovative R&D projects for funding. \nR&D Tax Credits is increasingly popular with SME and large companies who have invested money in R&D activities. The money is there to claim through HMRC yet the majority of companies do not claim this relief which would release vital funds back into the business for future innovations. Also\, due to lack of knowledge of the scheme many companies will undervalue their claim. \nTBAT Innovation is a business consultancy which specialises in access to funding and assists numerous life sciences companies in claiming both grants and R&D Tax Credits thus ensuring millions in funding is returned to these businesses. \nThis breakfast event will summarise relevant grant funding opportunities\, offer hints and tips on how to apply\, using case study examples plus key facts of HMRCs R&D Tax Credit scheme including detailing what eligible R&D is and how to apply.  \n1-2-1 appointments are available with our experienced consultants following the event which will provide specific advice for your business/project to maximise your funding opportunities. \nTo view the programme\, click on the link below. \nThis event is free to attend\, to book your place please complete the ‘book online form’ below.

SUMMARY:Taking the China Challenge
DESCRIPTION:The scale of the opportunities in China’s life science sector is well documented with the pharmaceutical and medical technologies sectors expected to grow significantly faster in China compared to other major international markets – Boston Consulting Group forecasts a compound annual growth rate for both the pharma & medtech markets of 14% to 2020. \nOngoing reforms by the Chinese Government include: \n\nAn increase of public insurance coverage to 98% for both the urban and rural population\nExpansion of the list of essential drugs\nStrengthening information management services and increasing the use of electronic health records\nInvestment of billions of RMB in the construction of hospitals\, clinics and other healthcare infrastructure at county and municipal level\nThe reform of public hospitals\n\n  \nIn addition\, higher disposable income for a rapidly growing urban population is driving a new awareness and demand for better healthcare services – and an increasing demand for western medicine and treatments. \nBut China is seen by many organisations as a challenging market\, with high entry costs; a complicated regulatory environment and concerns over the protection of intellectual property. \nThis event will not only provide up to date information on the potential opportunities for UK organisations in China’s life sciences sector\, but will also address the challenges and present solutions to overcome these. \nTo find out more about this event or to register your place\, please click here.
