About our Workshops
Using Evidence to Make Clinical Decisions
Do you want to use quality evidence for your patients but struggle to find the time?
Our workshops will help you to learn about using Clinical Decision Making principles and skills. You will have an opportunity to hone these skills so that they can then inform clinical work and save you time.
We recognise that everyone has different starting points so we tailor the programme accordingly and offer a progression of workshops.

-
£100 per day for GMC-registered delegates

The programme for the standard one-day workshops has been awarded 5 CPD points by the Royal College of Physicians.
