Module leader: Dr Pete Coventry
Health and social care research and practice should be informed by the available evidence. Evidence synthesis is an approach to identifying, collating, synthesising, and interpreting information from a range of sources to produce critical summaries of the available research evidence on a specific topic. Systematic reviews are a critical component of evidence synthesis. Relevant studies are systematically identified, their data extracted and synthesised in narrative form and, where appropriate, statistically or thematically pooled, taking care to minimise error and bias. This module provides students with appropriate knowledge and training required for finding, interpreting and conducting quantitative, qualitative and mixed-methods systematic reviews.
