“We offer the most specialised workshop in the UK for doctors and medical students, focusing on how to conduct and publish a meta-analysis by actually performing one in real time with pre-designed data sets. Launched in 2019, our courses have evolved to provide hands-on, real-time learning experiences. Participants actively work on data sets under expert supervision, ensuring they gain practical skills and produce a publishable meta-analysis by the end of the course”
About Our Meta-Analysis Courses
The Meta Analysis course began as a statistically-based workshop, guiding delegates through systematic reviews and meta-analyses via task-based stations. Over the past two years, it has transformed into a unique platform where candidates generate their own meta-analyses in real-time under supervision. Delegates progress through each step of a systematic review and meta-analysis, from generating a topic to preparing it for publication.

Our course follows a station-based format, allowing candidates to develop their papers in real-time. Participants receive guidance and supervision on various elements, including literature search strategies, article selection, data extraction, and data analysis. This course is ideal for those seeking to publish and enhance their academic profiles. Suitable for a wide range of clinical professionals, including medical students, it equips participants with career-changing skills in data interpretation and meta-analytic techniques. Many of our previous candidates have successfully published their work just check our testimonial section
