Who is this course for?

This course is for people working in the healthcare sector who wish to train other professionals or students in critical appraisal skills.

If you are a beginner or unconfident at critical appraisal then you will need to have completed CASP’s online modules to give yourself a good grounding in critical appraisal skills. During this course you will not be trained in the basics of doing a critical appraisal but will be given the skills to increase your confidence when training others. The course will focus on improving skills to train others when appraising systematic reviews and randomised controlled trials (RCTs).

You will be provided with skills and resources to take back to your area of work and organisation.

How will this course be run?:

The course will include a mix of preparatory reading, presentations, briefings, small group work and time to practice teaching to the whole group. Numbers will be kept low for optimum interaction between trainer and participants. Our courses are also a good opportunity to network and learn from others attending, involved in disseminating healthcare information, including participants & trainers and facilitators.
