Hey there everybody, Our next session is on Tuesday 29th November 2016 at 12.30pm and will be led by our lovely physiotherapist, Nicola. The chosen paper is a systematic review: Adler, J., & Malone, D. (2012). Early Mobilization in the Intensive Care Unit: A Systematic Review. Cardiopulmonary Physical Therapy Journal, 23(1), 5–13. It can be found freely online at: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3286494/ We’ll be using the CASP systematic reviews checklist as our appraisal tool. This can also be found online at: http://www.casp-uk.net/casp-tools-checklists […]
