New diagnostics can provide great advantages to patient care. However, diagnostics developers need to provide a portfolio of evidence that demonstrates these benefits before their technologies can be purchased and widely used.

This two-day online course provides an overview of the evidence development pathway for new diagnostics and is aimed at anyone with an interest in this area. The course focuses on key concepts associated with evaluating new diagnostics. The team will also highlight the support they offer at different stages.

Presentations will last 30 minutes with a 15 minute question and answer session at the end. The team will also be available to answer questions during the lunch break and at the end of each day.
