•	A demonstration of the UKPDS Outcomes Model version 2.1
•	Hints and tips on how to get the most out of the model
•	A live question and answer session 
•	Information on future model developments and the opportunity to tell us what features you would most like included in future model versions.
 
Please register for the webinar at https://oxford.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/virtual-launch-of-ukpds-om-software-version-21-copy. The webinar is free and open to all.
 
The UKPDS Outcomes Model version 2.1 includes the following new features:
•	Compare up to 25 treatment groups simultaneously
•	Major speed improvements 
•	Functionality to tailor output to only the outcomes you need to speed up the model
•	New outputs showing convergence and user-defined composite outcomes
•	Improved multi-processing for computers with up to 124 processors
•	Optimises disk space for larger datasets
•	Outputs bootstrap results for each patient. This feature facilitates subgroup analysis, adjustment for baseline covariates and combining different types of uncertainty
