Remstat Consulting have more than 30 years experience working with the NHS and academia and provide a complete service to medical and social researchers. Our services cover research development, data management, statistical analysis, interpretation, report writing & publication. Whether it's a project from start to finish, or help along the way, Remstat Consulting provides the support you need for information you can rely on.

We can provide advice at the start of your project to help ensure you use appropriate methods to maximise the efficiency of your study and our data management services will ensure that the data obtained from the study is recorded in a structured and accurate manner to ensure ease of analysis and interpretation. We provide a data analysis service that will lead to appropriate meaningful analysis and interpretation. We are also able to help with effective communication of the study findings and can help with writing up analysis for publication in peer reviewed journals.

The development of research related skills is a recognised competency in many health & social care professions. Whether its learning how to make sense of a published research report or publication, understanding common approaches to epidemiology or developing skills in analysing and interpreting data, we can run tailor-made courses to suite your needs.

The main statistical packages that we use are SPSS, STATA and StatsDirect and we are able to provide support for users of these packages. We can also provide help with statistical writing and advice on methodology used in epidemiological and public health research.
