Do you enjoy the Journal Club meetings, but find the topics aren’t always relevant to your field?

Have your chance to say what the next Pharmaceutical Statistics Journal Club topic should be!

The journal club has now been running for just over 3 years and we wanted give you the chance to have your say and to determine the direction of the years events based on what you are interested in.

Papers have been previously selected by two committee members and this survey provides the opportunity for you to choose what you would like to hear. The first page asks for your opinions on general topics which you would like to see, followed by some more detailed questions about papers within specific category areas.

Links to the abstracts of each of the papers mentioned within the questionnaire - should you wish to view them - are available here.

To get stuck in, please access the survey here.

We look forward to seeing your opinions.
