Superego Cafe returned to Sydney on 24 October 2009 to hold its second critical appraisal course in a year.  We chose the Hilton Hotel as the venue again and the service received was perfect. There are not many conference venues in the world which provide delegates with complimentary use of Microsoft X-boxes as well as the usual refreshments! Thankfully we didn’t lose any delegates to the consoles. It was a busy day covering all the topics and delegates departed with their heads full of knowledge, their hands clutching the latest edition of The Doctor’s Guide to Critical Appraisal and massively improved confidence in understanding and appraising clinical papers.
