This brief seminar addresses healthcare professionals and principal investigators with ongoing or proposed research projects processing personal data. To get an overview of the complex legal framework within Union law can be challenging and time consuming. Nevertheless, dealing with GDPR and considering patients´ rights is of utmost importance to avoid extraordinarily high penalties for non-compliance. The widespread adoption of real-world-evidence research utilizing registries, health insurance claims data, and sophisticated Big Data methods is leading to an increasing spectrum of technical terms necessary for discussions with data protection officers, research data and computer scientists and patients. This seminar aims to help attendees to gain access to this stiff subject.

Chaired by Prof. Henrik Sillesen (Denmark), this seminar dealing with clinical leadership is for vascular surgeons with an ambition of becoming dept. leaders, head of department or chairman and for existing leaders who wish to seek inspiration or discuss issues from their own experience. The seminar will discuss how you make your colleagues or doctoral staff work for their department. Rather than working as individuals with their own patients more synergy and development may evolve if everybody engages in what is best for the department and its patients. Experienced leaders will discuss their experience with leadership and which models they have worked with and what that may result in.

Lecture: Interpreting Hazards and Benefits in Surgical Trials
Speaker:
Prof. Sir Richard Peto
Professor of Medical Statistics And Epidemiology,
Co-Director, Clinical Trial Service Unit and Epidemiological Studies Unit
University of Oxford, UK
Sir Richard Peto, FRS, is currently Professor of Medical Statistics and Epidemiology at the University of Oxford, and co-director (with Professor Sir Rory Collins) of the Clinical Trial Service Unit and Epidemiological Studies Unit (CTSU). He was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of London in 1989 for introducing meta-analyses of randomised trials, was knighted by Queen Elizabeth in 1999 for services to epidemiology, and received in 2010 and 2011 the Cancer Research UK and the BMJ Lifetime Achievement Award.
Richard Peto, Rory Collins and others in the Oxford CTSU have, by their large randomised trials, large prospective studies and worldwide meta-analyses, increased substantially the estimated importance of blood lipids, blood pressure and smoking as causes of premature death. Peto has recently collaborated in major studies of alcohol in Russia and of malaria in Africa and India. His investigations into the worldwide health effects of smoking and benefits of stopping at particular ages have helped to communicate effectively the vast and growing burden of disease from tobacco use, have helped change national and international attitudes about smoking and public health, and have helped many smokers to stop. He was the first to describe clearly the future worldwide health effects of current smoking patterns, predicting one billion deaths from tobacco in the present century if current smoking patterns persist, as against ‘only’ 100 million in the 20th century.
