May 2009:

Evidence-Based Dentistry course at Oxford University

Organiser Mr Derek Richards, Director of the Centre for Evidence Based Dentistry at the Institute for Health Sciences, University of Oxford,
Dates 18-22 May 2009
Location Department for Continuing Education in central Oxford.
Description Whilst demands for resources are intensifying, there are increasing expectations amongst all sections of the community that health care solutions are available for an increasing range of problems and conditions.

As resources are limited, a more efficient use must be made of those that are available. There is also an ever increasing need for decisions about the allocation of scarce health care resources to be made on the basis of evidence that is valid, reliable and appropriate to the populations and contexts in which they are taken.

The evidence-based approach provides a coherent approach to the information needs of clinicians. This course has been developed for dentists and other oral health care professionals who either want an introduction to evidence-based dentistry or who wish to further their understanding of the evidence-based approach. It will be led by Derek Richards who is a Consultant in Dental Public Health.

The course aims to provide participants with an understanding of the background to the evidence-based approach. It will also cover the basic skills necessary to apply the evidence-based approach in dentistry

Participants will be encouraged to bring with them a clinical problem on which they can focus during the course.

Most of the course will be conducted in small groups using a problem-based approach. The small groups will be tutored by dentists from academic and clinical backgrounds who have experience of teaching the evidence-based approach.

The small group problem-based approach to the week allows flexibility to cover topics suggested by participants e.g. 

guidelines, 
appraisal of cohort studies 
overcoming barriers to implementation.
