About CAMS
Dr Chris Palmer
The Centre for Applied Medical Statistics (CAMS) was established in 1996 in response to the increasing recognition of the need for high quality statistics as an integral part of medical research.
Funded by NIHR and East of England RDS, CAMS provides a statistical support mechanism for clinical researchers belonging to the University of Cambridge’s School of Clinical Medicine and/or those working for the NHS in the Eastern Region. CAMS is part of the University Department of Public Health and Primary Care and, being located in the Institute of Public Health on Robinson Way, is especially convenient for responding to the needs of researchers based at Addenbrooke’s Hospital.
CAMS comprises a Director, Dr. Chris Palmer, two full-time and two part-time medical statisticians (in 2010), and a part time course administrator.
