Translating evidence into clinical relevance

Evidence-based practice means using the best, research-driven evidence to drive care delivery. But how do you know whether research is of high quality? What makes a good study? What makes a bad study?

In order to understand the quality of research, it is important to ask some key questions. The purpose of this one-day seminar is to present to you an overview of the questions you should ask. After attending this seminar, you will understand different study designs, attributes of good and bad studies and how to do a literature review. You will be well prepared to read and understand a research article. These skills will help to ensure that you are truly delivering high quality evidence-based care.
