Evidence Based Practice in Dentistry Course, May 2003, Manchester UK
A COURSE FOR ALL DENTISTS AND MEMBERS OF THE DENTAL TEAM, 2003
(Apologies for cross-posting)
I am writing to let you know of an exciting change to the Evidence Based
Practice in Dentistry course this year. We have decided to make the course
even more dynamic and useful while limiting your time away from your
service and training commitments. And at reduced cost!
We are doing this by:
¨ Changing the course into a 3-day course,
¨ Providing a better introduction to evidence based practice in
dentistry before the course begins
¨ Providing a text book for you (to be sent out before the course)
¨ Focussing even more on the skills you need to practice in an
evidence based way in your own setting
¨ Providing skilled and enthusiastic tutors for the three days of the
course (as always!).
This will happen in Manchester, UK, and there are only a few places left.
The programme will look like this:
¨ Pre-course work: You will be asked to think of your own question
about effectiveness in dentistry, provided with a textbook for background
reading and encouraged to search for good evidence to answer your question
before the course begins. There will also be a fun and useful quiz (for
prizes!) and some papers to read for later in the course.
¨ Day 1 (Monday 12th May): a busy and interactive day including
meeting colleagues and tutors, introduction to evidence based practice in
dentistry, presenting your own clinical question, optional searching
practice, critical appraisal of randomised controlled trials (RCTs),
practical statistics for RCTs, levels of evidence, a meal out together in
the evening.
¨ Day 2 (Tuesday 13th May): Critical appraisal of systematic reviews,
practical statistics for meta-analysis, introduction to critical appraisal
of guidelines, interpreting meta-analysis, appraisal of evidence gathered
on your own question, some time for searching.
¨ Day 3 (Wednesday 14th May): Implementation strategies, progress of
your own question, individual plans for implementation, experiences of
other dentists in evidence based care, prizes, certificates, finale.
All this and the course will cost less too! The new cost is £400 for the
three days.
