SUMMARY:Ultra Processed Foods and Health Outcomes
DESCRIPTION:How do ultra processed foods affect health\, and what does the latest research tell us about their wider impact? \nThis webinar\, shared by the ISTAART Nutrition\, Metabolism and Dementia Professional Interest Area\, brings together leading experts to explore the current state of research on ultra processed foods and their links to health outcomes. The session will also examine how this evidence can inform policy\, clinical practice\, and approaches to addressing health inequalities. \nHosted by the National Institutes of Health\, the webinar will provide an overview of emerging findings and highlight key considerations for researchers\, practitioners\, and policymakers. \nSpeakers:Jerold Mande\, M.P.H.Josiemer Mattei\, Ph.D.\, M.P.H.\, M.S.Lauren O’Connor\, Ph.D.\, M.P.H. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:How to be a Great Chief Investigator for Clinical Trials
DESCRIPTION:In 2024\, the Network ran a pilot of three ‘How to be a Good Chief Investigator’ workshops in collaboration with Leeds CTRU\, Nottingham CTU\, and the Centre for Trials Research in Cardiff. Over 100 delegates participated across the three sessions. \nThe feedback was overwhelmingly positive\, and further workshops were therefore scheduled across 2025 and 2026 under the new name ‘How to be a Great Chief Investigator for Clinical Trials.’ Plans are now underway for sessions in 2027 and 2028. \nBook your spot at the next workshop now. \nWho are these courses for?\nThese workshops are designed for both current and aspiring Chief Investigators of clinical trials\, with a clear goal: to equip you with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in your research career. \nEach event features expert guidance from experienced CIs and other trialists\, interactive activities\, and a collaborative learning environment. \nFuture Events Timeline\n5 May 2026 – Nottingham (Registration Open) \n28 September 2026 – Birmingham \n\n\nDetails of the next course\nNottingham – 5 May 2026\n\n\nUniversity of Nottingham\, Institute of Mental Health\, Room AO7\nUniversity of Nottingham Innovation Park\, Jubilee Campus\, Triumph Road\, Nottingham NG72TU \n\n\n\nSpeakers: Prof. Eleanor Mitchell\, Prof. Alan Montgomery\, Trish Hepburn\, Bethany Gill\, Prof. Caroline Rick\, Chris Partlett\, Prof. Reuben Ogollah\, Prof. Alexia Karantana\, Prof. Jon Dorling \nPrevious How to be a Great Chief Investigator for Clinical Trials workshops have been awarded 5 external (category 1) CPD credits by the Federation of the Royal College of Physicians. An application is currently in progress for this event. \nAgenda Here\n\nBook your place here!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor further information about upcoming workshops\, please contact regctus@leeds.ac.uk or follow us on BlueSky and LinkedIn.

SUMMARY:EquaDem Network Plus Conference
DESCRIPTION:EquaDem\, one of four national dementia plus networks hosts its 2nd annual conference on tackling inequalities in dementia care & diagnosis. \n\n\n\n\nOne million people are living with dementia in the UK\, with numbers continuing to increase. Research continues to show people living with dementia and their unpaid carers experience many inequalities in accessing care and obtaining an assessment and diagnosis. The first national network dedicated to finding solutions to inequalities in dementia diagnosis and care\, EquaDem\, is finding solutions to address these inequalities by working together with people living with dementia and their families as well as care professionals and Third Sector organisations. \nEquaDem’s second annual conference will showcase key findings from the network’s collaborative work to date and bring together experts in dementia policy and practice with those with lived experience of dementia to find the best ways of reducing current inequalities. Keynote speakers include Fiona Carragher\, Chief Policy and Research Officer at the Alzheimer’s Society\, and Professor Martin Knapp\, Professor of Health and Social Care Policy at LSE (London School of Economics and Political Science)\, Professor Louise Robinson\, Professor of Primary Care and Ageing\, Newcastle University and Dr Clarissa Giebel\, Senior Research Fellow\, The University of Liverpool . \nThe conference will take place in the ‘Heroes Room’ within St James’ Park football ground\, Newcastle upon Tyne\, NE1 4ST. \nRegister to Attend

SUMMARY:Neuromodulation: Bridging Minds\, Machines\, and Medicine
DESCRIPTION:International Neuromodulation Society (INS) \nINS is a nonprofit group of clinicians\, scientists and engineers dedicated to the scientific development and awareness of neuromodulation – the alteration of nerve activity through the delivery of electrical stimulation or chemical agents to targeted sites of the body. Founded in 1989 and based in San Francisco\, CA\, the INS educates and promotes the field through meetings\, its MEDLINE-indexed\, peer-reviewed journal Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface\, and chapter websites. \nThe Mission of the INS is to promote and disseminate the science\, education\, practice and accessibility of all aspects of neuromodulation. This multidisciplinary society believes that all scientists\, doctors\, bioengineers\, professions allied to medicine and industry partners who have a specialist interest in neuromodulation can work with this society to share science and encourage best practice for the good of humanity. \nThe Vision of the INS is to harness all scientific\, clinical and engineering endeavour throughout the world and to brand neuromodulation to encompass all neurological technologies that through electrical or chemical means improve the function of the impaired individual. \nThe Goals of the INS are: \n\nTo create a forum for clinicians\, basic scientists and bioengineers involved with neuromodulation through a combination of scientific meetings\, journal and interactive website\nTo create a family of affiliated neuromodulation national chapters to encourage growth and influence at national level\nTo encourage research and development into the conditions treated and the devices and techniques used\nTo encourage open dialogue with industry partners and health care authorities to improve understanding of these therapies\, the needs of patients\, service requirements and fair remuneration\nTo expand the worldwide access to neuromodulation by raising awareness of the both its clinical efficacy and cost effectiveness\n\nGet details on the Congress Meeting
