@sarahftyson @karenphysiocouk @logan_angie @CochraneStroke @saeboukglyn @WendyJuner @VPrakashPT People are still producing trials of weird stuff. So to comprehensively synthesise this we do need to acknowledge it. A later model/schema with only the effective stuff should get rid of it.....

[Alex Todhunter-Brown (formerly Pollock) @ATodhunterBrown]

@logan_angie @karenphysiocouk @sarahftyson @CochraneStroke @saeboukglyn I agree this would be great. It's beyond the scope of the Cochrane review we are currently updating; but @corbettadavide has just starting writing a protocol for an overview which could look at doing this....?

[Alex Todhunter-Brown (formerly Pollock) @ATodhunterBrown]

@karenphysiocouk @logan_angie @sarahftyson @CochraneStroke @saeboukglyn @WendyJuner @VPrakashPT Or a "schematic model" / "schematic framework"?

[Alex Todhunter-Brown (formerly Pollock) @ATodhunterBrown]

@karenphysiocouk @logan_angie @sarahftyson @CochraneStroke @saeboukglyn @WendyJuner @VPrakashPT What it is a "description of interventions potentially delivered as part of physical rehabilitation for stroke". But it's more than a description, as it shows how they might be delivered in combination....is it a "schema"?

[Alex Todhunter-Brown (formerly Pollock) @ATodhunterBrown]

@logan_angie @sarahftyson @CochraneStroke @karenphysiocouk @saeboukglyn @WendyJuner @VPrakashPT Correct.

[Alex Todhunter-Brown (formerly Pollock) @ATodhunterBrown]

@LesleyScobbie It's explained in the webinar. I welcome any feedback / comments - https://t.co/Y62v146cUN

[Alex Todhunter-Brown (formerly Pollock) @ATodhunterBrown]

@VPrakashPT @logan_angie @CochraneStroke We need to find a way to incorporate evidence relating to these interventions (because people are still testing them). Synthesising available evidence does not mean that the evidence shows effectiveness.

[Alex Todhunter-Brown (formerly Pollock) @ATodhunterBrown]

@rirish15272775 @logan_angie @CochraneStroke Unlike many other Cochrane reviews we have been involving stakeholders to help us decide how to bring evidence together. This model has been co-produced with key stakeholders to support our Cochrane review. Watch the full webinar to find out more https://t.co/Y62v146cUN

@sarahftyson @logan_angie @CochraneStroke @karenphysiocouk @saeboukglyn @WendyJuner @VPrakashPT This is a model designed to describe interventions delivered in trials, in order to support synthesis of evidence. This does NOT relate to existence of evidence, but rather to how to pull a wide variety of evidence together. Webinar explains more: https://t.co/Y62v146cUN

@Em_Garratt @logan_angie @CochraneStroke Feedback welcome. Contact details are available within the full webinar, which also explains the aim/context - https://t.co/Y62v146cUN

@WendyJuner @sarahftyson @logan_angie @CochraneStroke The full webinar is now available if you want to understand the background behind this and why it is being developed. If you have questions / feedback after watching the webinar please get in touch. https://t.co/Y62v146cUN

@logan_angie @CochraneStroke The full webinar which explains the context of this is now available at: https://t.co/Y62v146cUN

[Alex Todhunter-Brown (formerly Pollock) @ATodhunterBrown]

@logan_angie @CochraneStroke Thanks for sharing. To clarify – this is a model designed to describe interventions delivered in trials, in order to support synthesis of evidence. This model does NOT relate to existence of evidence, but rather to how a wide variety of evidence could be brought together sensibly

What an amazing PhD!
If I had my time again... 🤔

and great supervisors @AlexsPollock @Biddybach

Would love to know who had the wisdom to fund this studentship

A PhD relevant to @TheStrokeAssoc plans regarding PCPI in Stroke research - don’t you think @LauraJPiercy

[Alex Todhunter-Brown (formerly Pollock) @ATodhunterBrown]

@RodolfoLN @WorldStrokeEd Neither was I! I think it's down for everyone.

[Alex Todhunter-Brown (formerly Pollock) @ATodhunterBrown]

@WorldStrokeEd So disappointed that technical difficulties have stopped this webinar. I was looking forward to it!

@PCampbell48 @rosobs @NMAHPRu @EColes10 @AshleyP16810701 @Emma___France @bfarq1 @cathbest @TorrensClaire @intrepidstudent @Eileen_Calveley @Cowiejulie Who are the FB "experts" we identified at NMAHP-RU? I think a closed FB page might work for virtual coffee break chat :)

@karadecorby @nealhaddaway @GlobalPPINet There's some more description of our approach in the recent NIHR co-production publication (no 2): https://t.co/IN7SJOoM27

@karadecorby @nealhaddaway @GlobalPPINet Stakeholders in our Cochrane review used consensus decision making based on nominal group technique - https://t.co/mSoCGM8GHg
