This training event is only open to individuals who are resident on the Island of Ireland. BackgroundEstimates for the generation of research evidence suggest that there is an increasing number of trials and systematic reviews published daily. Knowledge syntheses are essential to advance practice and research through consolidation of evidence. Such reviews can also help knowledge users work more efficiently to make evidence-based decisions. Among the various types of knowledge synthesis, the scoping review has become increasingly popular. Scoping reviews are a form of knowledge synthesis that incorporate a range of study designs to comprehensively summarize and synthesize evidence with the aim of informing practice, programs and policy and providing direction to future research priorities. As a method of knowledge synthesis, scoping reviews have potential to advance health care practice, policy and research. However, variability on the methodological conduct and reporting of scoping reviews prevents scoping reviews from fully reaching this potential. In this course, we will focus on best practices for the conduct of scoping reviews.Aim Advance introductory knowledge on the conduct of scoping reviewsLearning outcomesIn this course participants will be enabled to:<ul><li>Understand steps and best practices for the conduct of scoping reviews</li><li>Distinguish between scoping reviews and other forms of knowledge syntheses</li><li>Understand methods resources for scoping reviews</li><li>Develop methodological skills in the conduct of scoping reviews</li><li>Recognize scoping reviews of varying quality/critique a scoping review</li></ul>Teaching strategiesThe workshop will consist of a mixture of short presentations, small group work and large group discussions.
