Aims of the course The course introduces health professionals to the skills required for Evidence-based Practice including: § framing answerable questions from practice or policy problems § finding the best available evidence to answer the question § critically appraising research for its validity and usefulness § incorporating the findings into decisions § understanding the process involved in developing guidelines The course involves a mix of interactive plenary and facilitated small group sessions, combined with training in searching and support for self-directed searching. Key features are an emphasis on multi professional groups and a high tutor-participant ratio. Who should attend The course will focus on children, and is relevant to medical and non-medical professionals from all sectors of the health service. It is designed for participants who primarily want to practice, rather than teach, evidence-based practice.
