Our analytical quality training programme for 2004 includes a number of new courses designed to meet the broadening needs of the analytical community.
Dr Malcolm Burns, a Biostatistician in LGC's BioAnalytical Innovation team, commented: "As the UK's national measurement laboratory, LGC recognises the importance of analytical quality to anyone making chemical or biochemical measurements and to those making decisions based on the results of such measurements.
This new course is the latest in our expanding range of courses on statistics for scientists.
We have been running statistics courses for analytical chemists for several years and this new course is aimed at the growing population of bioscientists involved in making analytical measurements".
The new 'Basic statistics and experimental design for biological scientists' course is suitable for biologists with limited or no previous experience of statistics.
The course is designed to help biological scientists: design experiments amenable for statistical analysis; develop an understanding of hypothesis testing; perform common statistical analyses on experimental data; and interpret the results of the analysis.
The course will cover experimental design, significance testing and analysis of variance as well as linear regression and correlation.
LGC's courses are run by its experienced staff, many of whom are international experts in areas such as measurement uncertainty, traceability, reference materials and proficiency testing, thus ensuring that the training remains topical, addresses current issues and meets the needs of those who attend.
All the courses consist of lectures and workshop sessions, with delegates working in small groups for the workshop sessions.
LGC also offers tailor-made courses for scientists, which can be provided either at LGC's training venues or at customer sites.
These customised courses enable in-house training needs to be met at a more economical cost.
The one-day 'Basic statistics and experimental design for biological scientists' course will be held at LGC's site in Teddington, Middlesex on 29 July and 30 November 2004.
