Burwalls’ is an informal annual meeting with the aim of encouraging and equipping those who teach statistical and quantitative research methods, and also evidence-based healthcare, to medical students and healthcare professionals (each of these aspects loosely defined!). It is a fantastic opportunity for comparing notes. 

The 2019 meeting will be held on the UEA campus on the western side of Norwich, with single en-suite modern student accommodation within a short walking distance on campus.  

Programme topics will include:

• development and application of new teaching methods;

• use of online learning within curricula;

• ways to make the topic interesting, accessible and relevant to students;

• tools and resources; trials and errors; 

• statistical outreach in schools; and

• early results of a recent RSS survey of medical statisticians on professional issues.

The social programme includes a walking tour of UEA’s public art gallery (the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, SCVA) and sculpture trail in the stunningly attractive riverside park- and woodland setting of the campus, and an outing into Norwich city centre by bus. 

We are delighted to have Emeritus Prof. Mike Campbell, a Burwalls veteran, as our guest after-dinner speaker.
