SUMMARY:NIHR Oxford BRC Statistics Hub webinar
DESCRIPTION:Estimation methods for treatment policy strategies in clinical trials with missing data: introducing retrieved dropout reference-base centred multiple imputation\n\n\n\nSchedule: The talk will be approx. 1 hour\, with discussion/Q&A 30 minutes \n\n\n\nLocation: Hybrid – Online via Teams / or in person at Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre ND08 \n\n\n\n(please note: the speaker will be online) \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Dr Suzie Cro (Imperial)\, Associate Professor in Medical Statistics and Clinical Trials\, Head of Trial Methodology and co-Head of the Statistics section at Imperial Clinical Trials Unit \n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract: A treatment policy strategy if often used to handle intercurrent events such as treatment withdrawal in clinical trials. Such an approach seeks to estimate the effect of a treatment\, regardless of whether patients withdraw from the treatment schedule early. This requires the collection of outcome data following treatment withdrawal\, however data is often missing after treatment withdrawal complicating the analysis. \n\n\n\nIn this setting\, retrieved dropout multiple imputation has been proposed as a useful method for estimation. This approach imputes off-treatment data based only on observed off-treatment data. But this may be impractical with limited observed data post-treatment withdrawal. Alternatively\, reference-based multiple imputation can be used which assumes treatment withdrawals behave like those observed in a specified reference group. But this makes strong assumptions and disregards observed off-treatment outcomes. \n\n\n\nThis presentation will review these two different methods of imputation followed by an introduction to a novel approach\, referred to as retrieved dropout reference-base centred multiple imputation\, that draws its influences from the two aforementioned methods. The expected bias and root mean square error (RMSE) for this new method will be analytically explored\, followed by application to an anti-depression trial. \n\n\n\nNo registration required – if joining online please join the session here via Teams: https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/39849641209505?p=y2MDEjtwbfCI0V2A4j \n\n\n\nPlease note the talk will be recorded. The recording will end before the discussion/ Q&A. \n\n\n\nIf you should have any queries\, please contact the session organisers: Chris Mwema christopher.mwema@ndorms.ox.ac.uk  & Dr Daphne Kounali daphne.kounali@ndorms.ox.ac.uk

SUMMARY:Online Training: Ethnicity Inclusion with Prof. Shaun Treweek
DESCRIPTION:An informative session on the practical tools needed for ethnicity inclusion in health research. Covering the NIHR INCLUDE Ethnicity Framework\, useful resources and researcher(s) case study. \n\n\n\n\n\nONLINE EVENT Hosted by Birmingham BRC. For any questions about this session\, please contact: \n\n\n\nAny queries\, please contact: Rebecca Moyles: r.l.moyles@bham.ac.uk \n\n\n\nAbout the speakers: \n\n\n\nProfessor Shaun Treweek\, Chair in Health Services Research\, University of Aberdeen\, is active in the field of efficient trial design\, particularly pragmatic trial design\, improved recruitment and retention interventions for trials\, the design of complex interventions and the effective presentation of research evidence. \n\n\n\nAmeeta Retzer\, is a mixed methods researcher with expertise in outcome methodology\, applied health\, health inequalities and public health\, and research equity. She is based at the Centre for Evidence and Implementation Science (University of Birmingham)\, leading the Methods and Policy group. Funded by the NIHR Birmingham Biomedical Research Centre\, Ameeta led the development of a toolkit for capturing a representative and equitable sample in health research. Subsequently\, Ameeta leads a research programme exploring use of the toolkit in a range of settings. Ameeta co-led the development of the University of Birmingham Inclusive Research Guide.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is part of our Summer online series of Inclusivity training for Health and Care Researchers. \n\n\n\nWe’re collaborating with five other NIHR Biomedical Research Centres: Oxford Health\, Barts\, Birmingham\, Cambridge\, Moorfields\, to bring you a series of engaging online training sessions with experts and researchers to help embed inclusion in your research \n\n\n\nPlease find dates for your diary and info. below for our two further training sessions: \n\n\n\n21st May 2026: Socio-economic Disadvantage Inclusion training with Dr. Heidi R Green:Register here. \n\n\n\n11th June 2026: Partnerships\, Planning and Service Provision: Case Studies in Inclusive Research with Cherish Boxall:Register here. \n\n\n\nOnline Inclusivity in Research Training\n\n\n\nThese sessions are for research staff affiliated with the following Biomedical Research Centres: Barts\, Birmingham\, Cambridge\, Moorfields\, Oxford and Oxford Health \n\n\n\nPrivacy Notice: We adhere to the UK’s Data Protection Act 2018-https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/data-protection-and-the-eu/data-protection-and-the-eu-in-detail/the-uk-gdpr/.
