This 1 to 1 session focuses on searching the medicine databases for health literature. This session includes running and saving a search, accessing full text journals and where to search next.

Searching the Cochrane Library for Systematic Reviews and Randomised Control Trials

This brief 1 to 1 session will show you how to conduct and search in Cochrane Library and save your results.

Clinical Key

RCT Journal Club: Hints and Tips

A general overview of places to look for bias in a Randomised Control Trial for beginners. A useful recap for journal club members. The session touches on statistics and is intended to form part of the learner's journey rather than a comprehensive course.

Health Literacy Awareness

This session, accredited by the Royal Society for Public Health UK (RSPH), aims to: introduce you to the concept of health literacy; consider the impact low health literacy can have on your work, your patients, and the NHS; and explore practical methods that can be used to help improve health literacy and the patient experience.
