Apologies for cross posting Due to cancellations there are now some spare places available for this course next Thursday. Hitting the Headlines training day (or how to read a newspaper) On Thursday 21st April 2005 10.00 - 3.30 At the Centre for Reviews and Dissemination, University of York Most days, newspapers carry reports about health care, including stories of effectiveness of new treatments or diagnostic tests. Such stories can create expectations or anxieties in patients and pressure for health professionals. It is important therefore to know the facts behind the headlines. In collaboration with the National electronic Library for Health, CRD is holding a training day for health librarians that will cover how to assess the reliability of newspaper stories, how to locate the research behind the headlines and how to find critical appraisal tools to assess the quality of the research. The seminar is free, places will be allocated on a first come first served basis. If you would like to attend, please email Jackie Bentinck on <mailto:[log in to unmask]> [log in to unmask]
