"How to Practise Evidence-Based Child Health"
2-3 March 2006

Aims of the course
The course aims to introduce health care professionals to some of the key
skills required to use the best available evidence in their clinical
decisions. These include how to:

§ frame answerable questions from clinical or policy problems
§ find the best available evidence to answer the question
§ critically appraise research and other evidence for its validity
and usefulness
§ incorporate evidence into clinical decisions

Programme
Following an introductory presentation on evidence-based child health and
how to get the question right, there will be a series of practical sessions
during which participants will work in small multi-disciplinary groups with
guidance from tutors. Topics covered will include searching the scientific
literature and appraising research articles both on diagnosis and on
therapy. Examples from child health will be used and preparatory material
will be provided in advance of the course.

Who should attend?
Although the course is based on examples of practice and policy problems in
child health, the concepts are relevant to professionals from all sectors
of the health service including: paediatricians, PAMs, health visitors,
nurses, general practitioners, managers and others whose work relates to
child health will find the examples particularly relevant.

Previous experience in using research evidence to make decisions is an
advantage but not essential. The course is designed for participants who
primarily want to practise, rather than teach, evidence based health care.
