SUMMARY:Mini masterclass: Evidence-based medicine
DESCRIPTION:This event is aimed at MSPs and special advisors, who experience a huge demand on their time and, despite their own pre-existing expertise, need to quickly obtain even more knowledge in multiple areas. This 'mini masterclass' in evidence-based medicine can help with one aspect of this.    Members of the Centre for Evidence and Values in Healthcare have a commitment to public engagement and service and are hosting this free, 50-minute online seminar designed to help MSPs and their staff with the most important aspects of evidence-based medicine.    The event will cover:     	Why evidence-based medicine? From opioid overuse to surgical mesh, how do we stop medicine doing harm?   	Finding disease early - complicated and often counter-intuitive   	Who to trust? Fact and fiction - how to assess health claims using real world examples and based on previous political interests, for example, the age cervical screening should start at and whether patients are protected from doctors' conflicts of interest    Conversations with previously elected representatives suggest this information is useful, however, if you wish other areas to be covered the hosts would be happy to discuss and include if possible, or provide at a future seminar.    Staff at the Centre for Evidence and Values in Healthcare have expertise in public health, early diagnosis, screening and risk communication. Dr Margaret McCartney is a GP as well as an academic at the School of Medicine. She writes and broadcasts about evidence-based medicine, and is also Founder and Director of the Centre for Evidence and Values in Healthcare. Professor Peter Donnelly is Professor of Public Health Medicine with a career of more than 30 years in academia and senior international leadership positions in healthcare. https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/372883528179121?p=yqhHiJZCdSEKG1OMN0
