In this course, you will learn how evidence for healthcare practice is generated; how to assess evidence for bias, applicability and relevance; how to interpret basic statistical results and distinguish between outcomes of statistical significance and clinical relevance; how evidence is synthesised and transformed into practice guidelines; and how to apply these guidelines to patient and/or client care. For example, how and when to use tests and treatments. These skills are essential to enable you to practice in a competent, safe and effective manner. By the end of the course, you will be able to read and interpret information in a research article that is used to inform practice.
