The CASP model promotes a user-friendly, sustainable and cost-effective teaching approach, which has already been implemented in several countries. This year, as in previous years, the CASPin Training Week will be facilitated by international trainers from the CASP International Network, who will facilitate the week’s training and share their experience of evidence-based practice. New to the Training Week, this year CASPin will be run in parallel with the 12th Oxford Workshop on Teaching Evidence-Based Practice, therefore participants will have the added benefit of attending plenaries by some of the leading exponents of Evidence-Based Practice. Training Week Aims By the end of this course, participants will feel confident about: · Finding and critically appraising research evidence · Teaching critical appraisal skills to others.
