Address: Premier Meetings Reading Central, Letcombe Street, Reading, Berkshire, RG1 2HN, United Kingdom
Presented by
Gemma Hodgson (Qi Statistics Ltd)
This basic but wide-ranging course covers techniques for investigating, visualising and performing basic statistical techniques on data sets typical to industry settings. There are many basic concepts that need to be understood before statistics can be used to its full potential to give useful and informative answers. This course ensures that these concepts are understood in a non-technical way and then demonstrated using data examples.
Mathematical details are kept to a necessary minimum and we focus on the interpretation of statistical output and illustrate applications with data from dummy clinical trials or published data. The objective of the course is not to teach you how to become a statistician, but to help you work with statisticians and get the maximum value from statistical output.
The course will consist of lectures, practical examples and discussions. There will not be any computer exercises.
Target Audience:
This is a 1-day course, aimed to introduce statistics to people who work on Clinical Trials, but who are not Statisticians. No previous knowledge of Statistics is assumed as we start right at the beginning with the basics. Many practical examples are given and the emphasis is on application and understanding rather than the equations and the technical background.
The basics of statistics are discussed to give background and a common base to start from and the applications and use of statistics in drug development is then discussed. The role of the statistician and their ability to help with decision making is also discussed.
It also serves as a useful refresher course to those who once studied statistics as part of a college course.
The following key topics will be addressed:
1. Types of Data
2. Measures of location and variability
3. Basic Inference
4. Power calculations and Sample Sizing
5. Design Issues

Gemma Hodgson has worked in the Pharmaceutical industry for 20 years. After receiving her first degree from Imperial College (Maths with Statistics) and then an MSc in Medical Statistics from London School of Tropical Hygiene and Medicine, Gemma began her career at Pfizer in Sandwich working in experienced global teams on major phase 3 projects. After 13 years at Pfizer and working in all phases of development, from phase 1 to phase 4, Gemma then moved to Takeda R &D in London where she worked on later phase projects, focussing on close liaison with other departments within the organisation. In 2012 Gemma left Takeda to work for a statistical training and consultancy firm, Qi Statistics Ltd, where training of non-statisticians and explaining statistical concepts to non-scientific audiences is key. Gemma has a broad interest in the application of statistics and is an experienced trainer to all types of audience, specialising in translating technical concepts into everyday English.

PSI Introduction to Industry Training (ITIT) Course - 2025/2026
An introductory course giving an overview of the pharmaceutical industry and the drug development process as a whole, aimed at those with 1-3 years' experience. It comprises of six 2-day sessions covering a range of topics including Research and Development, Toxicology, Data Management and the Role of a CRO, Clinical Trials, Reimbursement, and Marketing.
This is an interactive online training workshop providing an in-depth review of the estimand framework as laid out by ICH E9(R1) addendum with inputs from estimand experts, case studies, quizzes and opportunity for discussions. You will develop an estimand in a therapeutic area of interest to your company. In an online break-out room, you will join a series of team discussions to implement the estimand framework in a case study, aligning estimands, design, conduct, analysis, (assumptions + sensitivity analyses) to the clinical objective and therapeutic setting.
Dissolution Testing: Time for Statistical (r)Evolution
Webinar dedicated to the topic of dissolution of oral solid dosage forms; opportunity to hear from statisticians working in the CMC field, with open question and answers.
In addition, the CMC Statistical Network Europe special interest group will discuss advocacy opportunities, have your say to contribute to the future direction.
Initially a brief introduction to AI will be given, followed by a presentation of various applications in medicinal product lifecycle. Several aspects will be discussed including performance, theoretical and practical conditions and also regulatory guidelines.
Joint PSI/EFSPI Visualisation SIG 'Wonderful Wednesday' Webinars
Our monthly webinar explores examples of innovative data visualisations relevant to our day to day work. Each month a new dataset is provided from a clinical trial or other relevant example, and participants are invited to submit a graphic that communicates interesting and relevant characteristics of the data.
Who is this event intended for? Statisticians with an interest understanding dose-finding in oncology.
What is the benefit of attending? Learn about the state of oncology dose finding, particularly in light of current FDA guidance.
PSI Book Club Webinar: Atomic Habits - The Science of Getting Your Act Together
The book club’s usual focus is to read and discuss professional development books. In this short format event you can more easily develop you career without the commitment of reading the whole book - simply listen to the 1-hour long podcast before joining the interactive session on 21 May.
This networking event is aimed at statisticians that are new to the pharmaceutical industry who wish to meet colleagues from different companies and backgrounds.
