ScHARR Short Course - How to Quickly Synthesise Research - 11th February - Sheffield

Instant Evidence Based Medicine: How to Quickly Synthesise Research

1 day course - Tuesday 11th February 2020




Overview: This course will introduce participants to the concept of research synthesis and explore simple ways to rapidly bring evidence together to inform decision making. During the day we will undertake a search for high quality evidence to answer a clinical question. We will then look at ways of identifying the findings/key themes from the research and present various methods/tools to quickly bring the results together to form a useful overview of the evidence quickly and effectively.

If you are new to research synthesis or need to expand your skill set to include rapid synthesis the this course will be ideal. It will offer an introduction to synthesis for those who do not need to undertake full scale systematic reviews, but would like to be able to bring research findings together simply and quickly to form a clear picture.

The early bird booking rate for this course will close 11th December 2018
