An introduction to systematic reviews and novel approaches to evidence synthesis

Sunday 1st to Tuesday 3rd September 2019

Facilitators: Dr Jenny Mc Sharry and Dr Chris Noone

During this workshop participants will have an opportunity to learn about systematic reviews, and to discuss the pros and cons of novel quantitative and qualitative evidence synthesis methods. We will work through example systematic reviews to give participants familiarity with the important steps of all evidence synthesis approaches including:

1. Developing an appropriate question
2. Searching for studies
3. Screening, data extraction and management
4. Appraising studies
5. Synthesising findings across studies
6. Writing up and publication

Participants will also be invited to bring along the details of a systematic review they are currently working on, or are planning to conduct, to the workshop. The review can be at any stage of development, and we will encourage your input throughout the session on any questions or problems that would be suitable for discussion in groups.
