For Health Professionals - Become Research Aware and Engaged

The Evidence Based Practice Forum
 

  • An initiative to promote evidence-based practice (EBP) within STH
  • Brings together clinical staff involved in EBP from across STH
  • The new structure gives participants "ownership" of research questions and the opportunity to develop confidence in their skills related to EBP
  • Helps staff to compare and discuss relevant issues across department boundaries, allowing networking of existing evidence and helping to generate priorities for future research activity that could be adopted by the trust
  • Contact Irene Mabbott - irene.mabbott@nhs.net for more information.
