The Scottish Centre for Evidence-based Multi-professional Practice: a Collaborating Centre of the Joanna Briggs Institute.

WELCOME Welcome to the first report of our centre. The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) was first established in 1996 as a joint initiative of Royal Adelaide Hospital and the University of Adelaide and led by Emeritus Professor Alan Pearson. JBI is now a discrete Institute of the University of Adelaide, School of translational Health Science, Australia within the Faculty of Health Sciences. There are more than 70 Collaborating Centres across the world promoting evidence-based resources for service providers, healthcare professionals and consumers. The Joanna Briggs Collaborating centres are self-governing collaborative entities, coordinated through the leadership of JBI in Adelaide, Australia. You can read more about the activity and scope of JBI on their website at: www.joannabriggs.edu.au

The team undertake systematic reviews following either the JBI or Cochrane approach. Our centre works very closely with practice and service user groups to ensure we are undertaking systematic reviews that address important clinical health and wellbeing questions. In this way the evidence from our reviews feed directly into practice to inform clinical guidelines and more widely to impact on healthcare policy and practice. Systematic reviews not only inform practice but can also identify important gaps in the existing evidence base and may inform/support the need for further research on a particular topic.

THE COMPREHENSIVE SYSTEMATIC REVIEW TRAINING PROGRAMME (CSRTP) Our Centre has three members who are licensed by JBI to train on the comprehensive systematic review training programme using JBI methods. In the last two years the Centre has trained over 30 individuals locally and internationally in the comprehensive systematic review process and many of them have registered systematic review titles, published protocols and are well underway with systematic reviews.

The training is run over five days face to face combining mini lectures, presentations, workshops and assessments. During the training week participants learn about the theory and practicalities around completing JBI comprehensive systematic reviews and develop a working knowledge of the software used. They prepare the title registration form and develop a systematic review protocol ready for submission and publication. (In 2015 the training course will be developed and will incorporate online learning and will be condensed making it even more accessible).

Participants need to come with a clear research question they would like to address during the training. It is usually something quite specific that relates to an area of interest, clinical concern or national priority. The narrower the question, the more focused the review (which also makes it more straight forward!). The next CSRTP is planned for October 2014.

CENTRE INVOLVEMENT If you are an academic, researcher, clinician or service user and wish to discuss opportunities for joining the management team to influence the direction of the Centre activity and the reviews it undertakes or indeed undertake the CSRTP training and a systematic review,, please contact the Centre director on 01224 262957 or p.kirkpatrick@rgu.ac.uk

FUTURE INITIATIVES As we move forward in our Centre’s development, part of our strategy is to plan to collaborate further with practice working as mixed teams to provide evidence to address prioritised topics. In addition, we are looking to expand the market for systematic review training locally and internationally and we are currently in discussion with a number of areas for international delivery of the CSRTP. We also hope to source major national sponsors for providing funding to help sustain and expand and develop the centre activity.
