Critical Appraisal Course

"Both Dr Angie Wade, Senior Lecturer in Biostatistics, and Eirini Koutoumanou, Teaching Fellow were professional and open for dialogue on this topic."


"Pre-course preparation, information and guidance was excellent. The 1-day course was well structured."

Statistics courses

The centre runs a variety of introductory courses for health professionals who require an understanding of research methodology and statistical analyses. We also provide training in R statistical software.

The statistics courses are run by Dr Angie Wade, Senior Lecturer in Biostatistics and Director of Statistics at the UCL Institute of Child Health, and Miss Eirini Koutoumanou, Teaching Fellow.

To book a course visit www.ucl.ac.uk/stats-courses

All courses are held in central London and provide written documentation to augment the face-to-face tuition. Where appropriate there are practical sessions to help understanding and both tutors will be on hand to assist with any problems attendees may have. We aim to foster a non-threatening environment within which discussion is encouraged.
