Evidence-based nursing workshop in Dubai attracts 200 nurses

Evidence-based nursing workshop in Dubai attracts 200 nurses

The record-breaking attendance of our Critical Appraisal Workshop in Dubai was immediately matched by 200 nurses who attended our Evidence-Based Nursing Made Easy Workshop, which took place over the last two days in Dubai, UAE. The workshop focused on introducing the knowledge and skills of critical appraisal and included practical sessions on audits, research protocols and qualitative studies. The focus throughout the workshop was on improving the patient experience, a task that nursing staff are well positioned for as they spend most time with the patient. The feedback was great and we hope we have instilled a desire to keep with the latest evidence and to be the best in those who attended!

Critical Appraisal Workshop breaks attendance record in Dubai

Critical Appraisal Workshop breaks attendance record in Dubai

Today we completed a critical appraisal workshop in Dubai, UAE. This event was our biggest ever, with 200 doctors, dentists, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals learning the knowledge and skills of critical appraisal over two intensive days. We’ve held courses for senior medical staff before in Dubai which have received great feedback. This event was open to more professionals and proved to be very popular. There’s a a great sense of satisfaction on our part knowing that a new cohort of healthcare professionals now feel comfortable reading research papers. Critical appraisal can be made difficult to understand but we aim to make it simple. The feedback we received after this critical appraisal workshop suggests we’re succeeding where others have failed! We’re planning to return to Dubai in October 2012 to repeat this workshop to give those who couldn’t make it this time an opportunity to experience our unique approach.

Critical appraisal courses for psychiatrists

Critical appraisal courses for psychiatrists

Superego Cafe ran a bespoke critical appraisal course today for a group of psychiatrists in South Yorkshire. Bespoke courses are easy to organise and are a cost-effective way of training large numbers of people. We provide advertising flyers, CPD certificates and tailor the course material to the needs of the audience. Today’s event was attended by Consultant Psychiatrists, trainee psychiatrists and GP trainees. We assumed no prior knowledge and taught critical appraisal from first principles. Practical advice was given on how to improve journal club presentations and the topics covered included those examined in the MRCPsych exams. Interactive digital handsets were used to test the delegates throughout the day. Delegates are given access to the Critical Appraisal Online Course to help them consolidate their new knowledge and skills.

Critical appraisal for the Intercollegiate Specialty Fellowship Examination (ISFE)

Critical appraisal knowledge and skills are tested in the Intercollegiate Specialty Fellowship Examination (ISFE) for dental professionals. The critical analysis section consists of a written examination lasting 2 hours. Candidates are given reference material consisting of extracts from published research and other scientific publications, and sets of questions to which written answers are required. Many dental professionals attend Superego Cafe’s critical appraisal courses and workshops but we also run custom courses for the ISFE. We’ve just delivered a bespoke critical appraisal workshop lasting two days for a group of restorative dentists at Guy’s Hospital, London. As well as going through the material common to all healthcare professionals, the workshop included appraising real dental research papers. Bespoke courses are tailor-made to your exact requirements and offer excellent value for money for groups of professionals. Contact us today to organise your own special event!
