About

Join us on an Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) journey where you will have the opportunity to learn and apply the core skills needed to be an Evidence-Based healthcare professional. Over five, 1-hour sessions in October and November, we will cover the core elements of EBP, including the 5 A’s: Ask, Acquire, Appraise, Apply and Assess.

Who should attend?
All staff are welcome to attend. Take this opportunity to learn new skills (or refresh old ones) and apply the core steps of EBP to answer your own clinical questions.

Why should I attend?
Providing patients with the best care requires staying abreast of current best practice including emerging research. Doing this effectively relies on having the skills and knowledge to ask answerable questions, find relevant, high-quality literature, determine the believability of this literature and apply the results in clinical settings. This seminar series will guide you through this process.

• Session 1: Introduction to Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) and how to ASK an answerable research question. Wednesday 18 October, 3-4pm AEDT
• ​Session 2: ACQUIRE: gain the knowledge and skills to find the evidence to answer your question. Wednesday 25 October, 3-4pm AEDT
• Session 3: APPRAISE: determine the believability and usefulness of the evidence. Wednesday 1 November, 3-4pm AEDT
• Session 4: APPLY: learn how to interpret the results section of a research paper. Wednesday 8 November, 3-4pm AEDT
