The NIHR Statistics Group aims to bring together statisticians, clinicians and scientists to develop and promote best methodological practice in research in health and social care. The conference is open to new and existing members and welcomes them to be involved in the formation of future activities and provide networking opportunities to share and promote best practice. The theme for this year’s conference is ‘Bringing theory into practice – throughout health and care research ' and the talks and presentations will feature best practice in cross-disciplinary research that brings statistical expertise into health and care applications, team science practices, research inclusion, mixed methods research practices, patient and public involvement and engagement activities, collaboration with stakeholders, leadership and cultural models to enhance collaboration within new research frontiers, design and implementation of research tools and generating impact in health and care.

The conference is an ideal forum for statisticians who work in isolation and statisticians who are associated with NIHR research.  This includes researchers/trainees partly or fully funded by an NIHR grant, those involved in an NIHR infrastructure. Non-statisticians who are interested in statistics are also very welcome to attend. The conference will be held in hybrid format with bespoke technical support offered by the Multicord team that will allow us to stream all breakout sessions, keynotes and rapid-fire talks held in the Main Conference Room.

The main conference will start from 1pm with lunch on Thursday 19th June 2025 with the Early Career Morning from 9am on Thursday 19th June 2025 for those registered.

The NIHR Statistics Career Development Group are hosting an Early Career Morning on the morning of Thursday 19th June prior to the main NIHR Statistics conference. This will be an opportunity for early career statisticians to find out more about the NIHR Statistics Group and how to make the most of the conference. As well a brief introduction to the NIHR Statistics Group, there will be a series of short talks from invited speakers, and an exercise to get to know the other attendees. We need to know who is planning on attending this event in advance, please complete questionnaire by 7th June.
