Critically appraising research papers can feel like a daunting task, but this introductory session to the basic principles of critical appraisal aims to demystify the process and show you how any healthcare professional at any level can get involved in the process. This session will include:

  • Exploration of the basic principles of critical appraisal, including the concepts of validity, relevance, and reliability
  • Introduction to the concept of bias and how it can manifest itself in different types of research studies
  • Definitions of different types of study design and their purpose in research activity
  • Signposting participants to useful tools available to support you in analysing the reliability of healthcare research.

Your contact details will be shared with Beth.Jackson@uhcw.nhs.uk
