BMA LIBRARY & ScHARR
CRITICAL APPRAISAL SKILLS WORKSHOP
BMA HOUSE, MONDAY 24 JUNE 2002
Critical appraisal has developed from being merely a method of
instruction in medical school to a practical lifelong learning skill
required by all medical practitioners. It is now a component of many
membership examinations and equips individuals for involvement in many
features of evidence based practice. The objectives of this day are to
provide an intensive overview of the skills and resources available for
critical appraisal and to provide ideas on how these might be utilised
upon return to the workplace. This day will act as a natural "taster"
for the week-long courses offered throughout the UK while being self-
contained for those who simply wish to master the basics of this
increasingly popular technique.
