Webinar on “Evidenced-based practice in dietetics”
This webinar to help you create clear, precise questions using PICO to search literature and plan a research project. You will also gain an understanding of the GRADE system for developing practice guidelines. You will be introduced to a database of evidence based practice written by dietitians for dietitian which uses both of the above.
