CALC Episode 6: Opportunities offered by doing a placement year in the Pharmaceutical and Healthcare industry (Part 1 – Statisticians)

By on 0

Following on from 2019’s series, we again collaborate with PSI CALC (Careers and Academic Liaison Committee) to bring two new episodes, this time discussing the opportunities offered by doing a placement year in the Pharmaceutical and Healthcare industry.

We chat with placement students from a diverse range of education backgrounds (from Mathematics and Statistics through to Computer science and Bioengineering) about their experiences during the past year, covering such topics as their motivation for doing a placement year, skills and knowledge gained, and the impact of the ongoing COVID pandemic. The students also share their recommendations and tips for anyone thinking of doing a placement year.

Interview with Loris Marini

What is the data project?
Why are data management programs a strategic imperative?
Why do they fail?


Usually a data management project starts with a change of perspective in the organisation, especially from senior leaders. To make such a project happen, data leaders must be familiar with the principles of change management, learn to speak the language of business, and be excellent listeners to craft and communicate an interesting and realistic vision to release value from information.

Listen while Loris, a man who views data through a human lens, and I talk about the following points:

Posters, flyers, papers and how you can use QR codes to enhance them

Interview with Irene de la Torre Arenas

You may think that QR codes aren’t new. But it’s actually quite something new in our field.

We as statisticians, should not just leave the use of QR code to other functions such as medical writing. Instead, let’s leverage this tool to have an impact and improve our output.

The analysis of adverse events done right – SAVVY

By on 0

Interview with Kaspar Rufibach and Jan Beyersmann

When I started my career as a statistician in the clinical world, I was wondering about safety analysis. I thought it’s always the same – count the patients with an event – job done! Then just repeat.

But it’s not that simple, especially in more complex situation where you have different follow-up times. Then the patients that stay longer on treatment as they benefit from it, also get more adverse events. Naively counting the patients with events or the number of events may make the beneficial treatment look worse. So, how can you account for this?

Join us while we dive deep into the following points:
