Statistical consultancy

We offer a range of statistical consultancy services to those engaged in medical research. Whether you just need a brief piece of advice, help designing a clinical trial, a statistical analysis plan, or a complete analysis of the results of a major study, we can help you.

We can assist you with statistical problems such as the following:

  • I am planning a clinical trial. What statistical issues should I consider in the design?
  • How many patients should I recruit to my clinical trial to be confident of getting statistically robust results?
  • I have already designed the study. Can you write a statistical analysis plan?
  • I have already planned how to analyse my data. Will my plan work, or are there any other issues I should consider?
  • Can you convert my legacy datasets to a CDISC compliant format?

Remember: it is never too early to get statistical advice. If you a planning a clinical study, it is extremely important to get input from a statistician at the design stage. Having a well-designed study can save many problems at the data analysis stage.
