Hi. Welcome to the practice of evidence based health care module.

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:09,370
My name is Annette Lederman and I'm a senior researcher in the Centre for Monitoring

3
00:00:09,370 --> 00:00:14,080
and Diagnosis in the Department of Primary Care Health Sciences at Oxford University.

4
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,520
I'm coordinating the teaching of this module together with Carl Hennigan,

5
00:00:18,700 --> 00:00:25,390
who is the director of the Centre for Evidence based Medicine and Academic Director of the evidence based Health Care Program.

6
00:00:27,220 --> 00:00:33,070
This module provides an overview and introduction to the basic concepts and skills of evidence based health care.

7
00:00:33,730 --> 00:00:39,730
It runs over eight weeks. One week it's residential in Oxford and seven weeks on an online course.

8
00:00:40,750 --> 00:00:44,830
You will be asked to prepare an assignment which is handed in at the end of the eight weeks,

9
00:00:45,850 --> 00:00:50,320
as this is one of the compulsory core modules of the MSE and evidence based health care.

10
00:00:50,860 --> 00:00:54,070
You will also get to meet the other students enrolled in the Master's.

11
00:00:56,310 --> 00:01:01,230
The focus of this module is on learning how to look at research and critically evaluate it.

12
00:01:01,620 --> 00:01:05,100
And we will explore the issues, use and benefits in practice.

13
00:01:06,210 --> 00:01:15,150
We will discuss various kinds of studies, including randomised controlled trials, systematic reviews, diagnostic prognostic and qualitative studies.

14
00:01:16,140 --> 00:01:20,250
We will also cover basic statistical concepts needed to interpret studies,

15
00:01:20,910 --> 00:01:25,440
look at some ethical issues and consider the translation of evidence into practice.

16
00:01:26,610 --> 00:01:35,190
Our teachers have diverse backgrounds, including clinical and non-clinical research, statistics, epidemiology, qualitative research and philosophy.

17
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:43,830
Teaching will be interactive in a small group of up to 24 students with plenty of opportunity for discussion and exchanging ideas.

18
00:01:44,670 --> 00:01:47,760
I look forward to meeting you on the module. Many thanks.

19
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:48,890
And among.
