This 2 day course is designed for current clinicians and students and aims to enable participants to become better users of clinical effectiveness research. The course will explain and cut-through the jargon of trials and systematic reviews and offer a framework for critically appraising these types of research papers. The broad aim is that participants will develop the skills to go beyond the abstract of a paper and be able to make detailed and informed judgements regarding the validity and results of trials and systematic reviews and to consider what those results might mean to their practice.

In spite of the title, all are welcome.
