OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

This workshop is primarily aimed at those interested in learning more about how to perform a systematic review and the basic principles of meta-analysis. This workshop include several short fire presentations covering:
* what is a systematic review and why do we need them * what is the process of conducting a systematic review * the basic steps in performing meta-analysis * when is it appropriate, and not appropriate, to perform a meta-analysis * how to interpret forest plots
There will also be a small group practical session aimed at developing a well-defined question for a systematic review. It will focus on defining the question and the inclusion criteria for a systematic review using the PICOS approach (participants, interventions, comparator, outcomes and type of study).
This workshop will be run by Dr Sally Hopewell (OCTRU)
www.octru.ox.ac.uk/team/researchers/sally-hopewell
and Dr Marialena Trivella (CSM) both of whom have considerable expertise in the design, conduct and reporting of systematic reviews of randomized trials.
