Clinical Skills
- Hand Hygiene
Practical hand hygiene techniques for infection control.
Ethics
- Informed Consent
(http://www.rlo-cetl.ac.uk:8080/open_virtual_file_path/i843n19266t/index.html)
An RLO that explains why consent is required in a treatment setting. It describes levels of consent, the need for informed consent and the history of informed consent.
- Should Sarah smack her child?
(http://www.rlo-cetl.ac.uk:8080/open_virtual_file_path/i2248n3031t/index.html)
This RLO explores the ethical dimension and different views surrounding the use of mild smacking as a means of punishment. Should Sarah smack her child? This RLO introduces you to a range of stakeholders with differing viewpoints and allows you to record your own responses to their opinions.
- Why do we need Confidentiality?
(http://www.rlo-cetl.ac.uk:8080/IntraLibrary?command=open-preview&learning_object_key=i07n9426t)
Presents the principles of confidentiality and key concepts of consent, privacy, trust, public interest and disclosure. A generic case conference approach enables users to consider and respond to the potential disclosure of genetic, disease and behavioural information.
Evidence-based Practice
Confidence Intervals
(http://www.rlo-cetl.ac.uk:8080/open_virtual_file_path/i2248n10044t/index.html)
This RLO defines the term 'confidence intervals' and demonstrates how they can be used to determine the significance and range of possible sizes of a treatment effect.
Designing a questionnaire
(http://www.rlo-cetl.ac.uk:8080/open_virtual_file_path/i281n6662t/design/index.html)
This RLO introduces good practice in questionnaire design, step by step.
Determining the importance of clinical trial results
(http://www.rlo-cetl.ac.uk:8080/open_virtual_file_path/i562n25119t/index.html)
This RLO demonstrates how to interpret and use clinical trial data (ARR, RRR, NNT, NNH, and confidence intervals) in practice.
Meta-analysis
(http://www.rlo-cetl.ac.uk:8080/open_virtual_file_path/i562n18347t/index.html)
This RLO provides an introduction to the basic concepts of meta-analysis, which is an important and valuable tool for summarising data from multiple studies.
Presenting and interpreting Meta-analysis
(http://www.rlo-cetl.ac.uk:8080/open_virtual_file_path/i2248n11604t/meta-analysis2/index.html)
How to present and interpret the results of a meta-analysis using forest plots.
Numbers needed to treat, numbers needed to harm
(http://www.rlo-cetl.ac.uk:8080/open_virtual_file_path/i1686n8283t/index.html)
This RLO considers how to measure and interpret the magnitude of effect in clinical trial results using number needed to treat (NNT) and number needed to harm (NNH).
Positive Predictive Values Negative Predictive Values
(http://www.rlo-cetl.ac.uk:8080/open_virtual_file_path/i281n10604t/index.html)
This RLO explains how diagnostic test results are a combination of true and false positive, or true and false negative.
Qualitative and quantitative research
(http://www.rlo-cetl.ac.uk:8080/open_virtual_file_path/i2529n6682t/index.html)
Outlining the distinction between qualitative and quantitative methods of doing research.
Relative risk reduction and absolute risk reduction
(http://www.rlo-cetl.ac.uk:8080/open_virtual_file_path/i843n1923t/index.html)
This RLO considers how to measure and interpret the magnitude of effect in clinical trial results using relative risk reduction (RRR) and absolute risk reduction (ARR).
Search Strategy for randomised control trials
(http://www.rlo-cetl.ac.uk:8080/open_virtual_file_path/i2529n26019t/rctsearch/index.html)
Introduction to search strategies for locating randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in online databases.
Sensitivity and Specificity
(http://www.rlo-cetl.ac.uk:8080/open_virtual_file_path/i2529n8103t/index.html)
This RLO explains how diagnostic test accuracy is described by the terms sensitivity and specificity. Sensitivity describes the accuracy of the test in detecting disease. Specificity describes the accuracy of the test in detecting health.
SI Units
(http://www.rlo-cetl.ac.uk:8080/open_virtual_file_path/i1405n24399t/index.html)
To identify what SI units are, when they are used, and how to calculate unit changes.
Steps in conducting a systematic review
(http://www.rlo-cetl.ac.uk:8080/open_virtual_file_path/i1967n7942t/systematic_reviews/index.html)
This RLO describes the various stages in conducting a systematic review and the issues that are encountered at each step.
Surrogate outcomes
(http://www.rlo-cetl.ac.uk:8080/open_virtual_file_path/i1405n13404t/index.html)
This RLO considers the type of evidence which should be used when making decisions about patient care.
