The Annual Meeting for Teachers of Statistics in Medicine and Allied Health Sciences, also known as “Burwalls”, is an annual conference with the aim of encouraging and equipping those responsible for teaching statistics and evidence-based medicine to students or professionals in medicine and health and social care in Higher Education, the NHS, or similar institutions.

Burwalls conferences started in 1980 in a grand house called ‘Burwalls‘ in Bristol, and have continued by tradition ever since. In recent years the Burwalls meeting has become peripatetic, held in turn at the institutions where participants work.

The 2023 conference, hosted by Queen’s University Belfast is free & in-person this year.

Burwalls is a great opportunity to network with other teachers of statistics in the Medicine and Allied Health Sciences field. The conference is an invaluable opportunity to compare notes with others working in related areas, find out what other statistics groups are doing and gain some friends and contacts in the field.
