As this is an introductory course\, no previous knowledge of systematic reviewing is required.\n\nThe course utilises a combination of lectures\, small group discussions\, workshops and library-based interactive tutorials\, with hands-on practical work at computer stations using Review Manager (RevMan) and reference management software. RevMan is the software used for preparing and maintaining Cochrane Reviews.\n\nThe Diagnostic Test Accuracy workshop is aimed at healthcare practitioners\, health services researchers\, methodologists\, scientists and other researchers who wish to conduct or appraise systematic reviews and meta-analyses of DTA studies\; or those who use DTA reviews for making clinical and policy decisions about diagnostic tests.\n\nSystematic reviews of diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) summarise evidence from primary studies that evaluate the accuracy of diagnostic tests. This introductory course will provide an overview of the steps in conducting a DTA systematic review. The interactive course will be a combination of presentations\, group work and computer exercises.\n\nSystematic Review Course: Tuesday 9th - Thursday 11th June 2026\n\nSystematic Reviews of Diagnostic Test Accuracy: Friday 12th June 2026\n\nSpeakers:\n\nAlexia Karantana: Clinical Associate Professor in Hand Surgery\, University of NottinghamJudy Wright: Senior Information Specialist\, Leeds\, Institute of Health Science\, University of LeedsNatalie King: Information Specialist and member of the Test Evaluation Group\, Leeds Institute of Health Sciences\, University of LeedsProfessor Sarah Lewington: Professor of Epidemiology and Medical Statistics\, University of OxfordProfessor Yemisi Takwoingi: Professor of Test Evaluation and Evidence Synthesis\, Head of the Department of Applied Health Sciences\, University of BirminghamDr Jun Xia: Co-Director Nottingham Ningbo GRADE Centre\, University of Nottingham Ningbo China \n\n
