This two-session workshop will provide participants with the knowledge and a range of practical tools required for conducting a systematic review. A range of approaches to evidence synthesis and systematic reviews will be considered. The workshop will consist of lectures and opportunities for participants to discuss and develop their own reviews through interactive group work and discussions.
The key areas covered over the two sessions will include:
- Identifying different types of literature/systematic reviews
- Developing an answerable systematic review question
- Defining inclusion and exclusion criteria for a systematic review
- Developing a search strategy
- Selecting studies and assessing their quality
- Extracting and appraising evidence from included studies
- Synthesising and writing up the findings of a systematic review
