2024 John Deeble Lecture and Panel Discussions, 15 October 2024
Global health and well-being are in crisis, and no single country is equipped to address this alone. Health and healthcare systems face numerous challenges, with many more anticipated. These challenges transcend national boundaries, demanding unprecedented levels of collaboration, sharing, agility, new skills, and expanded networks.
Effective leadership in healthcare fosters a culture of accountability, innovation, and collaboration, enhancing patient care and safety. Emerging health leaders must contribute meaningfully and bring fresh perspectives to the table. In the 2024 John Deeble Lecture, Prof Jonathon Gray (Dragon’s Heart Institute, UK) will reflect on his leadership journey and the strength of leadership in times of crisis.
Date: 15 October 2024
Venue: National Museum of Australia, Canberra, ACT

Logistic Regression 5 Day Masterclass tickets early bird registrations close 30 November 2024
Deakin Epidemiology is pleased to offer a summer Masterclass focused on Logistic regression to be delivered by arguably the world’s most famous teacher of this statistical technique – Prof. Stanley Lemeshow.
In years past, Lemeshow together with Ken Rothman offered back-to-back masterclasses in Biostats and Epi in Tasmania which were a bit of an institution, with many epidemiologists and biostatisticians building their knowledge and networks by heading south for a healthy dose of upskilling or as a refresher. Stan has agreed to offer this program onshore once again in Australia, this time at Deakin University’s Melbourne CBD campus 727 Collins Street, Docklands VIC 3008.
This 5-day course, 24-28 Feb 2025, will provide theoretical and hands-on practical knowledge and skills in statistical modelling with an in-depth focus on logistic regression analysis – the standard method for regression analysis of binary, multinomial and ordinal response data in health research.
Each day comprises a 4-hr class in the morning and a 2-hr practical session in the afternoon. And opportunities to network with fellow health and medical practitioners and researchers.
