Healthcare staff need to know how to appraise and interpret the research literature in order to effectively apply it for the benefit of patients. The skills in interpreting research studies are commonly known as critical appraisal skills.<\/p>\n

The library service holds a number of resources to assist those wishing to gain these skills. These include workbooks for those wanting to learn at their own pace via self-directed learning and toolkits of worked examples and guided exercises for those wanting to set up regular CASP workshop meetings with a small group of colleagues.<\/p>\n

Library staff are available to assist with the facilitation of CASP workshops. You can fill\u00a0our training form<\/a>\u00a0to request group or individual session.<\/p>\n
