    • Efficiently find and select research evidence to answer these questions.
    • Critically appraise the trustworthiness of research evidence.
    • Accurately interpret research evidence.
    • Incorporate patients’ values and preference in clinical decision making (for clinicians).
    • Communicate findings of research evidence.
  • This workshop provides an introduction to systematic reviews and conducting systematic reviews. It is aimed at clinicians and researchers who want to understand how to use a systematic review and gain a basic understanding of how to conduct a systematic review. 

    During this workshop participants will:

    • Be aware of new tools that can make the process of doing a systematic review easier and faster.
    • Gain practical experience in some key steps.
  • This 2-day workshop is designed to take researchers from a research question to a complete study protocol. It is aimed at newer researchers who have a good understanding of evidence-based practice and study design, and are now ready to design their own research project. Study designs suitable to bring to this workshop include randomised trials, cohort studies (prospective or retrospective), case-control studies, and surveys.

    During this workshop participants will:

    • Learn how to develop a research question using the PICO framework.
    • Understand the importance of choosing an appropriate study design.
    • Be able to identify the critical elements of a good study protocol.

Testimonials

  • Supporting evidence synthesis projects is still somewhat of a new service provided by our hospital library.

    I particularly appreciate the fact that the SRA toolbox supports researchers alongside the key stages of the systematic review process and that all the tools provided are open access.

    I find that most of the tools can be used intuitively by following the detailed manuals and video tutorials, but I have greatly benefited from the instructive workshop series as well.

    The fact that the tools are being referenced to by SR publications and by experienced information specialists have convinced me to use them more regularly and to recommend them to clients and fellow librarians.

  • It was a great opportunity to attend the systematic review series. 

    The presenters were very knowledgeable and had a great presenting style. It would definitely be of benefit to those people who are about to do a systematic review. It was very focused on the features and how to use their program to speed up the process of a review. 

    There were, however, things in the series for anyone doing a review. I am currently in the process of writing up my first integrative review with the plan to publish it. The series was really valuable for my search strategy, narrowing my final papers and how to begin analysis. 

    The later sessions were about analysis for a systematic review and not as useful for my integrative review but I still gained tips to help me.
