Appraising and Applying Evidence for Best Practices – A Roadmap for Excellence
Join colleagues from across the nation in a highly participative, interactive workshop. Practice guidelines will form the basis for exploring whether care is based on the best evidence. A coast‐to‐ coast ‘roadmap’ will be used to illuminate the steps in exploring, supporting and/or advocating for change that will define effective, relevant and excellent nursing practice. This workshop aims to stimulate collaborative learning about evidence‐informed practice for nurses at every level.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe and discuss current practices of concern to nurses and where evidence‐informed practices are evident in the work setting.
- Consider the steps needed in appraising the evidence.
- Explore the barriers and facilitators for the advocacy and implementation of changing practices to reflect person‐centred excellence.
