Welcome to the CASP UK Website
The Critical Appraisal Skills Programme helps people to find and interpret the best available evidence from health research.
It is part of an international network that shares a commitment to self-directed learning and promoting better understanding of science.
On this website you can find out about the CASP approach, download the CASP checklists, and find out what sort of workshops we offer to help improve your appraisal skills.
You can even commission one that is custom designed for your needs.

Workshops
The 2012 CASP International Training Week was held at Kellogg College from 16th -20th April. We are in the process of setting dates for the next training week to be held in spring 2013. If you would like to be notified when booking is open, please let us know via the ‘contact us’ facility and we will let you know.
Soon we hope to offer you the facility to find a Critical Appraisal or Finding the Evidence workshop near you. In the meantime, please contact us if you would like to find out more about any of our workshops or learning programmes.
We will be hosting a calendar of events, so that in the future anyone in the network of CASP partners can advertise their workshops.

Some people are experiencing difficulties downloading the CASP checklists from the website, due to technical issues. The checklists are also available on the CASP International website. Alternatively please email info@casp-uk.net stating which checklists you are looking to get hold of and we will happily email them across to you.
