WEBINAR KSR Evidence: systematic reviews to support guidelines

  • 1.  WEBINAR KSR Evidence: systematic reviews to support guidelines

    Posted 11 days ago

    *apologies for cross-posting*

     

    Over the past few years, it has become increasingly hard for people to find evidence-based, trustworthy evidence when they need it. In this new webinar, we will show how KSR Evidence utilises evidence synthesis methods to rapidly and efficiently appraise and summarise evidence to inform guidelines.

     

    The webinar 'KSR Evidence: systematic reviews to support guidelines' will take place on Tuesday 7 May at 3PM BST.

     

    Details

    This free KSR Evidence webinar will show how guideline developers can use KSR Evidence to:

    • create comprehensive search strategies to find systematic reviews relevant to their search

    • interpret the evidence with our ROBIS graded critical appraisals

    • prioritise and fast-track relevant reviews to be critically appraised

     

    Using a hypothetical guideline to illustrate, the webinar will feature a brief introduction to KSR Evidence, a demonstration of the KSR Evidence advanced search functionality, and details of the ROBIS tool used to critically appraise systematic reviews.

     

    The webinar is free of charge and will last 40 minutes, with a further 10 to 15 minutes for Q&A. The session will be recorded and made available on https://ksrevidence.com/ in the week after the event. Participants will receive free trial access to KSR Evidence (valid for one week).

     

    Presenters:

    Database Manager Willemijn (Will) Linden

    ROBIS expert Dr. Robert Wolff

     

    Senior Information Specialist Lisa Stirk will be available to answer questions during the Q&A.
