Comprehensive Systematic Review Training courses
The Centre offers the Joanna Briggs course in Comprehensive Systematic Review Training.
This five-day short course is designed to prepare researchers and clinicians to develop, conduct and report comprehensive systematic reviews of evidence using systematic review software.
Over 1,000 participants in 35 countries have undertaken this programme successfully. Participants who successfully complete the programme are certified by the Joanna Briggs Institute as competent in the systematic review process.
Please contact us for details of our next training event.
All courses will be held at the University of West London, Paragon House, Brentford, TW8 9GA.
Classes will be from 9am until 5pm every day.
The five-day course contains three modules. Modules are subject to change, but currently include:
- An introduction to evidence-based healthcare and the systematic review of evidence (1 day)
- The systematic review of evidence generated by quantitative research (2 days)
- The systematic review of evidence generated by qualitative research, narrative and text (2 days)
On completion of the course, each researcher will be expected to undertake a systematic review either on a subject of their choice or as part of their on-going research activities.
