Nottingham Systematic Review Course

Every year the University of Nottingham hosts the popular Nottingham Systematic Review Course.

The Nottingham Systematic Review Course will run Tuesday 25 to Friday 28 June (inclusive) in 2024

 

Who should attend

All people wishing to undertake reviews of randomised studies.

Course overview

The Nottingham Systematic Review Course is aimed at enabling participants to become proficient in developing and undertaking a Cochrane-style systematic review of interventions. As this is an introductory course, no previous knowledge of systematic reviewing is required.

What makes us different?

This is an intensive hands-on course with a high focus on practical and computer-based learning delivered through demonstrations, guided practical exercises and facilitated tutorials. All course materials are provided in the course folder and electronic format. Experienced tutors and facilitators, expert in their respective fields, are on hand to give you practical and individual advice on undertaking publishable systematic reviews. Please note that you will need to bring you own laptop to work on each day.

No prior knowledge is required, though, to maximise your learning, we ask you to have considered the topic (PICO) of your own review prior to the course, as there is the opportunity to discuss and develop components of your own protocol.

Please note that this course does not cover diagnostic or qualitative methods systematic reviews. Please contact us if you need more information on whether this is the right course for you. 

What previous delegates said about our course:

"This was an outstanding course which has increased my confidence in doing systematic reviews and has also taught me so much about research in general. The speakers were absolutely world class and were clearly so passionate about teaching this subject and making it accessible and enjoyable. I highly recommend the training and feel so inspired by everyone."

"One of the best courses I have ever attended. A vast amount of relevant and comprehensive information conveyed in an efficient and digestible way. Outstanding quality of presenters, organisation excellent and professional. All round top course, thank you."

"I don't think the course would have been as beneficial had it been delivered online.  The face to face approach allowed one on one support during practical sessions as well as the ability to ask real time questions; both of these aspects would have been hindered by online delivery."

"Presenters were knowledgeable and engaging. The course was so well structured - enjoyed the format, the breaks, the ordering of sessions, recapping and ability to ask questions.  I would love to attend future courses!"
