‘Summer School 2011 announcement’

On the previous BEES Courses, many participants have expressed an interest in learning more about writing and publishing papers in peer review dermatology journals.  We only touch on the topic during the BEES Course, so in order to respond to your needs, we are running a BEES Summer School this year, focusing on improving your skills at writing and publishing your paper.  

The course will run from 10.00am until 4.00pm on Wednesday 10th August 2011, and is directed mainly at dermatology Specialist Registrars wishing to improve paper-writing skills and publication success.  

The course will be held at the Centre of Evidence-Based Dermatology at the University of Nottingham, and the faculty includes :

Tanya Bleiker (Editor of British Journal of Dermatology)
Mike Doherty (former Editor of Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases)
Kim Thomas (Associate Professor of the Centre of Evidence-Based Dermatology)
Hywel Williams (Chair – British Epidermo-Epidemiology Society)

The Summer School will be highly interactive and use real examples from dermatology papers to illustrate points.  So come and have fun and learn with us.
