CASPuk Training Week 2004
In association with the CASP International Network
**************************************************

Dates: 12th - 16th July 2004
Venue: Linton Lodge Hotel, Oxford, UK

Each year CASP runs a Training Week that is attended and enjoyed
by health care professionals from the across the UK and around
the world. Trainers from the CASP International Network will en-
hance the learning opportunities with their experience of evi-
dence-based practice around the world.

Aim:
By the end of this course, participants will be able to criti-
cally appraise research evidence and to facilitate effective
critical appraisal skills training.

Objectives:
Opportunities will be provided for participants to:
* Enhance understanding of using evidence-based practice in
   health and social care
* Develop skills in appraising quantitative or qualitative re-
   search literature
* Develop facilitation skills for critical appraisal workshops
* Develop mechanisms in supporting the dissemination of ap-
   praisal training
* Enhance understanding of obstacles to change and ways of man-
   aging change.

Programme:
The programme is built around the core principles of evidence-
based practice. Participants are asked to choose from one of the
following study tracks: quantitative pathway or qualitative
pathway. Participants will focus on their chosen strand of re-
search literature as they progress through the critical ap-
praisal process - from finding the evidence to managing change
in the workplace. However, a brief introductory session to the
other strand is also included. Full programme details can be
found on our web site (http://www.phru.nhs.uk/learning). If you
