Introduzione

Websites and journals contain millions of results. Crafting an excellent medical literature search and identifying reliable information resources is essential to locate the best, most relevant resources to inform reports and dossiers.

Remember, the key to success is in the details, and with the proper techniques, you can unlock a treasure trove of information that will help you create informed and impactful reports. So, take your time, be thorough, and don't be afraid to utilise all available resources to create the best possible outcome.

 

The workshop will be divided into 2 online sessions.

Session 1:

Discover:

  • different types of information sources
  • reliable websites and databases for medical information
  • what types of information you may find from databases and websites
  • tools for choosing reliable/relevant resources

  • effectively target your Google search results for medical information
