This course is aimed at all professionals working on diagnostic tests including people working in industry, academia, funding and regulation. During these two days, we will provide you with the latest information on what evidence is needed to obtain regulatory approval, how NICE evaluates new diagnostic technology and how to collect evidence to support adoption in routine clinical practice. In addition we will teach you about different study designs including quality assessment and where to look for funding opportunities.

The course combines talks with hands-on activities. To stimulate interactive discussions and maximise the learning experience the number of places for this course are limited.
