Critical appraisal training in Ireland
Friday 14 September 2012 Bespoke course | Ireland | Psychiatry
We ran a bespoke critical appraisal training course in County Wicklow, Ireland today. The one day course was attended by a group of psychiatrists for the purposes of professional development and MRCPsych exam preparation. Bespoke courses are always excellent value for money. The cost per delegate is significantly below that of our Critical Appraisal Masterclass and Workshop. Indeed, because the speaker fee is fixed, the more delegates that attend the cheaper is the cost per head. Delegates also save money because bespoke courses take place in a location of their choice, saving on travel expenses.

Dublin hosts the Critical Appraisal Workshop
Sunday 19 February 2012 Ireland | Workshop
The Critical Appraisal Workshop took place in Dublin this weekend. The venue was the Radisson Blu hotel, a newly built deluxe hotel in the heart of Dublin city centre. Delegates were treated to a high quality service, with comfortable surroundings, delicious food and hot beverages. It's the first venue we've used where the meeting room itself is equipped with two coffee machines for the exclusive use of the delegates! The nightlife of Dublin provided the perfect wind down experience after the first day and everyone managed to make it to the second day of the workshop. We'll be visiting Dublin again on 15-16 September 2012. Reservations are now being accepted.
Critical Appraisal Workshop dates in 2012
Monday 25 July 2011 Ireland | United Kingdom | Workshop
The Critical Appraisal Workshop in London was a new addition to our range of training events in 2011. The opportunity to learn the knowledge and skills of critical appraisal and to practice critically appraising clinical papers under supervision made the workshop an instant hit! Due to its popularity and to reduce the cost of attending the workshop to people living outside London, we're pleased to announce that in 2012 the Critical Appraisal Workshop will also take place in Birmingham, Glasgow and Dublin. We've organised bespoke training courses in Ireland before but the two Dublin dates in 2012 are the first where anyone can attend. Reservations are now being accepted for the Critical Appraisal Workshops in 2012.
