WORKSHOP ANNOUNCEMENT **Apologies for cross-postings** 3rd UK Workshop on Evidence-Based Medicine in Psychiatry Merton College, Oxford 7-9th, April 1999 Evidence-based medicine provides a coherent approach to meeting the information needs of clinicians. Following a similar format to the two successful workshops at Merton College in April 1997 and March 1998, this workshop will equip participants with the basic skills necessary to apply the principles of evidence-based medicine in psychiatry. The strategies covered will include: searching for and critically appraising evidence and using research findings in everyday clinical practice. The workshop will use a problem-based approach, involving both small group work and lectures. The workshop will demonstrate how evidence-based medicine can help in making clinical decisions concerning diagnosis, treatment, prognosis and harm. There will also be plenty of opportunities for informal discussion. All meals and accommodation will be provided at Merton College. =09 If you are interested in finding out more about this event, please do one= of the following: 1.
