We will consider the steps required to answer your clinical question, understand the findings and summarise them for your patients.
The session will include:
• Defining your question
• Identifying your search terms
• Using healthcare databases to find the available research papers
• How to critically appraise the research
• How to act on the evidence and evaluate your clinical practice
This session will be a skills update for many clinicians and will touch on research methodologies and statistics used in health research.
