These workshops will:
- Introduce you to the key elements of critical appraisal
- Break down an answerable question?
- Look at some of the key features of qualitative research
- Go through an appropriate CASP* checklist in detail using a piece of qualitative research on a professions focused topic

You will be asked to read an article we send out a few days before the session. Being familiar with it will make the session more enjoyable.
We will be focusing on various profession related research articles for our discussions but anyone interested in evaluating or appraising research is welcome to any session! The basic principles are the same for most health-related research.
