<h3>*If your type of ticket is sold out, please join the waitlist or contact us at esi@nuigalway.ie </h3><h2>Background</h2><p>GRADE (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation) is used by over 100 international organisations such as WHO, Cochrane, American Society of Haematology and others to produce rigorous and transparent clinical practice guidelines and other healthcare recommendations. </p><p>GRADE is a standardised and transparent approach to assessing the certainty of evidence and the strength of healthcare recommendations. The approach provides a manageable system that integrates all important aspects. The GRADE approach was developed by the multidisciplinary GRADE working group. More information on GRADE can be found at: http://de.gradeworkinggroup.org</p><h2>Aim </h2><p>To lead course participants through the complete process of guideline development with GRADE using a concrete example: starting with the selection of a relevant PICCO question and ending with the formulation of a recommendation. The GRADEpro GDT software is used for this purpose. The thematic focus is on assessing the certainty of the underlying evidence as well as the strength of the recommendation. In lectures, we introduce GRADE and explain its use with examples.  </p><h2>Learning outcomes</h2><p>In this course participants will be enabled to:</p><p>•	Understand the basic principles of the GRADE approach and be able to comprehend the individual steps in the assessment of the evidence and their impact on the strength of the recommendation</p><p>•	Be able to create an evidence profile for a therapeutic intervention based on a systematic review</p><p>•	Have a basic understanding of the GRADE Software</p><h2>Teaching strategies</h2><p>The workshop will consist of a mixture of presentations and exercises in small groups. </p><h2>Course content/timetable</h2><h3>Day 1</h3><p>10:15 - 10:30 Welcome &amp; introduction of presenters</p><p>10:30 -11:15 Presentation: Evidence-based healthcare	</p><p>11:15 -11:30 Break	</p><p>11:30 -12:15 Presentation: What is GRADE?
