A few places are still available on this course.

Summary:

A practical and highly interactive course designed to equip participants with an understanding of the systematic review process and an introduction to the skills necessary to conduct a review. The course is taught over four days with a range of discussion, group and hands-on sessions. We envisage attendees will come to the course with a research topic and leave with a draft protocol for their systematic review.

By the end of the course, attendees should be able to:

· Develop a focused question

· Identify the evidence to answer that question

· Assess the quality/validity of the identified evidence

· Decide what form of evidence synthesis is most appropriate

· Present the results to meet the needs of healthcare professionals and other researchers

· Develop strategy to publicise the results

Target audience:

· Postgraduate healthcare researchers

· Healthcare professionals

· Policy makers
