Statistics without Tears!

BOPA presents a 6 part live e-learning Statistics Webinar series to help you understand and work on Statistics without Tears! We’ve got a great speaker lined up with content that will be vital in your oncology pharmacy career. The sessions will be interactive and questions will be welcomed to help you with your statistical fears. We will run these on a monthly basis and the first one is free to all and then subsequently free to BOPA members.

You can become a BOPA member instantly by joining on the website. We hope you join us for this educational series and keep your eyes posted on the BOPA website for details about how to join future webinars. Details for webinars 2-6 will be sent to PAID members only.

Speaker: Sian Williams is a Senior Lecturer in Health Psychology and Pharmacy Practice at the University of Brighton. She has over 20 years experience of teaching statistics to undergraduates and postgraduates in a range of health professions and with a range of experience (and levels of statistics-phobia!).
