About this Course
Systematic reviews are increasingly used as a basis for policy, healthcare decisions and to inform research designs and priorities. They are defined as a systematic summary of research evidence in which bias has been reduced by the systematic identification, appraisal, synthesis and analysis of all relevant studies on a specific topic.
Systematic reviews are a cost-effective way of summarising evidence and identifying areas where evidence is lacking, thereby assisting researchers and research funders to chart methodical paths for future primary research. Therefore, we aim to conduct a virtual 2-hour five-day intensive course to equip participants with an understanding of the key steps to plan and execute a systematic review.
The course is designed to cater for two types of participants; one who intends to understand the various elements involved in systematic reviews and one who wants to complete a Systematic Review/s. The course and additional online learning material cover areas including: question formulation, protocol, developing a plan to conduct your review, PRISMA guidelines, and critical appraisal. Aspects of meta-analysis and synthesis of non-numerate data are also highlighted. Specifically, the workshop seeks to promote the use of evidence synthesis for informed health decision making, while providing information, advice and mentorship on evidence synthesis.
Activities:
The key activities for this endeavour are: to understand/ conduct
•Steps of a Systematic Review
•Framing a Research Question
•Developing a Search Strategy
•Searching the Literature
•Managing the Process
•Publishing your Systematic Review
Target audience:
Our training will target two types of audience;
1. Audience intending to understand the various elements involved in systematic reviews so as to be equipped to critically appraise published review
2. Audience planning to go further to conduct a systematic review
Format for the webinar: Presentation followed by practical session and questions and answers
Duration: 2 hours
Presentation platform: BigMarker Webinar Platform
Training Dates: 24th-28th August 10.00 AM-12.00 PM
