Epidemiology and control of infectious disease are organized by Imperial College London and will be held during Sep 03 - 14, 2018 at St Mary's Hospital, London, London, England, United Kingdom. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 50 credits. The target audience for this medical event is Policy-makers, public-health and disease-control professionals who need to: (i) Set appropriate goals for, and monitor performance of, infection-control programmes. (ii) Interpret the findings of mathematical modeling studies. (iii) Question modeling experts effectively. • All who need to apply modern methods of analysis in the epidemiology and c ontrol of infectious diseases, in medical, veterinary and conservation contexts. • Health economists who need to develop appropriate models of infectious-disease control programmes. • Researchers who need experience of using modern quantitative approaches to infectious disease epidemiology. • Professionals planning for the control of a deliberately of accidentally released pathogen. • Mathematicians who wish to learn key biological concepts and how they are translated into modeling. Conference Description : In recent years our understanding of infectious-disease epidemiology and control has been greatly increased through mathematical modeling. Insights from this increasingly-important, exciting field are now informing policy-making at the highest levels and playing a growing role in research. The transmissible nature of infectious diseases makes them fundamentally different from non-infectious diseases, so techniques from 'classical' epidemiology are often invalid and hence lead to incorrect conclusions - not least in health-economic analysis. Conference Objectives are : • Understand the key concepts of infectious -disease transmission and control - and the differences with non-infectious diseases - taught by people who apply those concepts every day. • Learn how modeling informs policy-making, from case-studies presented by the individuals who a dvise public health professionals and governments, nationally and internationally. • Learn about developments at the cutting edge, taught by leaders of the field . • Read modeling papers to critically-evaluate and interpret their findings. • Understand how different control measures (e.g. vaccination, treatment, isolation, quarantine, travel restrictions ) will be effective - or ineffective - for different diseases. • Explore models of different types of infectious disease, including influenza, TB, SARS, HIV, and vector-borne diseases. • Design and use simple but powerful models, using Excel or Berkeley Madonna (license included in the course fee). • Collaborate effectively with mathematical modellers. Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
