There are still a limited number of places remaining on the Evidence
Synthesis of Qualitative Research in Europe (ESQUIRE) 2011 Course, the
third running of the successful Qualitative Evidence Synthesis course
supported by Convenors of the Cochrane Qualitative Research Methods
Group. Further details follow:
Evidence Synthesis of Qualitative Research in Europe (ESQUIRE)
The course will follow the systematic review process as it applies, and
is adapted to, qualitative evidence syntheses. The Programme Faculty
will take participants through the stages of defining and exploring
scope, conducting the literature searches, quality assessing studies for
inclusion, synthesising data and writing up and presenting the product
of the synthesis. Participants will be provided with practical
experience of key stages in the review process. The course will conclude
on the 8th September with Issues and Challenges for Qualitative Research
in Evidence Synthesis (InCQuiRES) a one-day methodological update
providing an excellent overview of current developments in qualitative
evidence synthesis.
