Further information about > the Centre can be obtained from our website: > http://ww.ich.ucl.ac.uk/ebm/ebm.htm > > Aims of the course > > Health practitioners are becoming increasingly conversant with the > principles of evidence-based practice and studies suggest that rigorous > research evidence is increasingly being used to inform practice. Since > 1995, when we started to run workshops in evidence-based practice, there > has been a growing demand for more advanced learning opportunities. The > demand for more reflects the fact that appraisal of research evidence and, > particularly, application of the findings to your patient, can be tricky. > We have therefore created this new workshop to help life-long learners in > evidence-based practice to develop their appraisal skills at a more > advanced level. The workshop is designed for practitioners who have had > basic education in evidence-based practice and feel proficient at using the > principles to appraise relatively straightforward studies. > > The workshop aims to: > · provide an opportunity for learners of evidence-based practice to > practise their skills > · foster debate about the value of information (what question do I really > need to answer now? How much of an effect would change my decision and how > certain do I need to be?) > · explore common problems in the interpretation of the internal validity > and applicability of studies > > Workshop content > > The materials for the workshop will be sent out at least 3 weeks prior to > the course. > > Each day will start off with a plenary session, which will aim to summarise > the main concepts to be discussed in the small group sessions. In addition, > participants will be encouraged to share problems they have encountered > when practising EBP. > > Who Should Attend? > > Previous experience in using research evidence to inform decisions is an > advantage but not essential. Ideally, participants should have previously > been on a basic evidence-based practice course. This workshop is designed > for participants who primarily want to practice, rather than teach, > evidence-based practice. The course is based on clinical and policy > problems in child health but is relevant to professionals from all sectors > of the health service. > > physicians GPs purchasers > nurses PAMs > health visitors managers therapists > researchers from > consumer > groups > > For enquiries, contact: Sarah Seee, Administrator, Centre for > Evidence-Based Child Health > Tel: +44 020 7905 2606 Fax: +44 020 7813 8233 E-Mail: > [log in to unmask] > > > > > Sarah See > Information Officer > Centre for Evidence-Based Child Health > Institute of Child Health > University College London Medical School > 30 Guilford Street > London > WC1N 1EH > > Tel: 020 7905 2606 > Fax: 020 7813 8233 >
