Critical Appraisal Skills International (CASPin)
Each year CASPin runs a Training Week for health and social care professionals which promotes the use of research in practice. The CASP model promotes a user-friendly, sustainable and cost-effective teaching approach, which has already been implemented in several countries. This year, as in previous years, the CASPin Training Week will be facilitated by international trainers from the CASP International Network, who will facilitate the weeks training and share their experience of evidence-based practice.
New to the Training Week, this year CASPin will be run in parallel with the 12th Oxford Workshop on Teaching Evidence-Based Practice, therefore participants will have the added benefit of attending plenaries by some of the leading exponents of Evidence-Based Practice.
Training Week Aims By the end of this course, participants will feel confident about:
· Finding and critically appraising research evidence
· Teaching critical appraisal skills to others.
Training Week Objectives
The objectives for the week are to:
*Enhance understanding of evidence-based practice in health and social care
*Develop skills in appraising quantitative or qualitative research literature
*Develop change management skills for putting evidence into practice
*Develop delegates facilitation and teaching skills to run their own critical appraisal workshops
*Share tools to support the dissemination (cascading) of local training
Workshop format
Most of the Workshop will be conducted in small groups. Plenary sessions will present and discuss general issues in planning, executing, and evaluating EBP, and will demonstrate large-group strategies for teaching EBM. Searching and study time will be provided, and informal social events will encourage free discussion and the establishment of ongoing links.
