'Good clinical trial reporting in dermatology : who cares?
Monday 21st June 2010 at the University of Nottingham
Based on the success of the 2008 BEES Summer School in "Writing Better Papers", BEES will be hosting another Summer School in 2010 on the topic of "Critical Appraisal of Clinical Trials", in association with the EQUATOR group www.equator-network.org/home/ from the Centre for Statistics and Medicine based at Oxford.
Like the previous Summer School, this will be a one-day meeting from 10.00am to 4.00pm and places will be limited to a maximum of 24. Priority will be given to those who have already been on a BEES ‘Getting to Grips with Evidence-Based Dermatology’ course. Further details and the registration form can be downloaded here.
Previous BEES Summer School 2008
Over the previous BEES Courses, many participants expressed an interest in learning more about writing and publishing papers in peer review dermatology journals. We only touch on the topic during the BEES Course, so in order to respond to your needs, we tried out a BEES Summer School on 7th August 2008, focusing on improving your skills at writing and publishing your paper.
Eighteen specialist registrars attended and the evaluation and response was very positive from those attending.
The sessions included :
How to do the basic writing using IMRD
Hywel Williams, Chair of BEES and Professor of Dermato-Epidemiology
Let's start with the humble case report
John English (Editor of British Journal of Dermatology)
Writing up other clinical studies
Hywel Williams, Chair of BEES and Professor of Dermato-Epidemiology
How to survive the stats section
Kim Thomas (Associate Professor at the Centre of Evidence-Based Dermatology)

Hywel Williams, Chair of BEES and Professor of Dermato-Epidemiology

Mike Doherty (former Editor of Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases)
Top 10 tips on getting published

It is planned to run this Summer School every two years, so the next one will be held in the Summer of 2010
