EVIDENCE-BASED HEALTHCARE ON THE WEB
10 May 2007, London
A phenomenal amount of medical and healthcare information can be easily found on the web, but much of this information is at best of poor quality and at worst downright dangerous. This hands-on course cuts through the maze and focuses on reliable, solid information freely available on the web, with an emphasis on sources of evidence-based information.
BY THE END OF THE EVENT PARTICIPANTS WILL HAVE:
· looked beyond well known sources such as the Cochrane Library
· gained a clear understanding of the importance of evidence-based information
· investigated the internet mailing lists dedicated to evidence-based healthcare
· identified the 5 levels of evidence and explored the relative merits of different types of documents found on the web
· learned where to find - and how to use - many of the key sources of evidence-based healthcare information available on the web
· discovered how to use methodology filters to search specifically for evidence-based documents
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Information and healthcare staff working in NHS hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, medical schools and other healthcare organisations. Information of relevance to all healthcare professions will be covered, including medical, pharmaceutical, nursing, dental, PAMs and PCDs. No prior knowledge of evidence-based healthcare is required.
COURSE LEADER: ALAIN BESSON
Dr Alain Besson, is the Information Skills Librarian at St Bartholomew's and the Royal London School of Medicine and Dentistry (Queen Mary, University of London).
