HOW TO PRACTISE EVIDENCE-BASED CHILD HEALTH
WEDNESDAY 8TH - FRIDAY 10TH OCTOBER 2003
Lorne House and Conference Centre, Craigavad, Co Down. N Ireland
The Centre for Evidence-Based Child Health is one of a national network of
centres for evidence-based practice and is based at the Institute of Child
Health in London. It has developed a programme of short courses in
evidence-based child health on which this three-day course has been based.
This course builds on the success of the previous course held in Castlebar,
Co Mayo, Ireland in 2002.
The course aims to help practitioners become more efficient at using the
best available evidence in their clinical and policy decisions.
The three day course consists of plenary seminars, small group
problem-solving and appraisal sessions and practical sessions on how to
search the scientific literature. Key features include an emphasis on
small multi-professional groups, a high tutor-participant ratio,
opportunities for 'hands-on' access to the Internet and scientific
literature, and the demonstration of techniques for prioritising
information needs and dealing with uncertainty. Examples from child health
will be used extensively during the course. Preparatory material will be
provided in advance of the course.
Who should attend?
The course is based on clinical and policy problems in child health, and is
relevant to professionals from all sectors of the health service,
particularly those whose work is related to child health. Individuals who
have found this course of value include paediatricians, PAMs, health
visitors, nurses, general practitioners, managers, therapists, purchasers
and researchers from consumer groups.
Cost: 525 GBP (785 Euros)
Covers all tuition, materials, lunch, tea/coffee breaks and the course
dinner on Thursday evening Oct 9th 2003.
(Please note the cost will be 495 GBP (740 Euros) if you are not attending
the course dinner)
