Inaugural Lectures
All new professors in ScHARR, whether they have been internally promoted or appointed externally, are given the opportunity to give an inaugural lecture. The School's Inaugural Lecture series provides an opportunity to celebrate these achievements with each lecture representing a significant milestone in an academic's career.
The normal format is for a lecture of about 45 minutes followed by a celebratory wine reception.
Details of the whole of ScHARR's inaugural lecture series to date can be found via a PDF download in the 'Downloads' box.
Upcoming Lectures
Professor Steven Julious

He will also commit a statistical sin of extrapolating beyond the range of his data and make some predictions for the future of statistics in clinical research.

Professor Fiona Lecky
Wednesday 12th June 2013 - Mappin Hall, Sheffield
Professor Fiona Lecky, Professor of Emergency Medicine, will deliver an Inaugural Lecture on the subject "How to improve trauma care through research". In this lecture Professor Lecky will highlight the challenges inherent in attempting to improve civilian trauma care, including the "occult" nature of lethal injury after blunt trauma, both in terms of the physiological response to the major threats of haemorrhage and brain injury in the clinical findings present on examination of the patient.
