Bristol Oxford Surgical Trials Intervention Course (BOSTiC)

An absolutely brilliant course. Extremely good value for money considering how much I have learnt. Very enjoyable but also really educational. Thank you!

BOSTiC delegate, 2018

BOSTIC 2021: We are very happy to confirm that (subject to logistical considerations and government regulations around face to face courses) the Bristol Oxford Surgical Trials Intervention course (BOSTiC) will run in 2021 as a face-to-face event in September.

The course will take place in Bristol on Wednesday 15-Friday 17 September 2021.

Please register here.

We are very excited to be running this popular course again this year and look forward to seeing you there.

In 2020, following consultation with the Bristol and Oxford BOSTiC team and bearing in mind advice from PHE and University of Bristol Management concerning the Covid-19 virus and public meetings, we reluctantly took the decision to cancel the course.

The Bristol and Oxford Surgical Trials Units offer a 3-day surgical research training event on surgical trials for foundation, core and specialist trainees of all surgical specialities. Learn how to design and conduct RCTs in surgery that answer research questions of relevance to surgeons, patients and the NHS. It is necessary to commit to all three days, so we ask for all attendees to provide the course coordinator with evidence of approval for study leave.

The course fee covers all subsistence and one conference dinner. Accommodation, travel and remaining dinner is not covered.
