A critical appraisal team for nurses

: Research findings are essential to the progress of the profession, but they are not always relevant or easily accessible. Literature searches can also be off-putting because of the sheer volume of material available. The critical appraisal team is a nurse-led initiative set up to tackle these problems. It responds directly to the research needs of nurses in the workplace, supplying staff with concise, reliable research that can be used to benefit practice.
