Welcome to CATNiP: Critical Appraisal Toolkit Navigating into Practice   

The CATNiP wiki has been developed to supplement the LIHNN Critical Appraisal Training Workshops. It aims to provide support and resources for those intending to deliver critical appraisal training.

Critical appraisal resources on the wiki include:

• Links to online training and workshops to improve your own critical appraisal knowledge
• Download exercises to use in your training sessions
• Links to critical appraisal checklists and databases containing pre-appraised articles
• Advice on setting up your own critical appraisal training and facilitation tips
• Critical appraisal bibliography

The toolkit allows you to download and use the resources in your own training sessions. It allows you to design your own workshops by providing the background materials and exercises for you to build up a workshop suited to the level of your end-users. It does not provide powerpoint slides with pre-prepared presentations. Use the Navigator on the right-hand sidebar to locate the resources.

Please note this is a work in progress and the wiki will be moving to the new LiHNN wiki platform shortly.

Your feedback on the CATNiP resources is vital to determine whether your resource and support needs are being met and to identify further requirements. For example if you have used any of the exercises on this site please let us know, it will give us an idea of how useful certain aspects are. Comments may be left on each page visited, simply scroll down to the bottom of each page, alternatively click here to add your feedback.

If you would like to get involved in contributing to the wiki please contact Michelle Maden: madenm@edgehill.ac.uk
