If you're interested in health evidence and communicating research findings if creative ways, I hope you're following #ESTturns10. No-one does it better than this lot!

You have probably alread heard that my esteemed shipmate, @iainchalmersTTi received the inaugural David Sackett Prize from @Cartabellotta at #ebhc2019 for his intellectual leadership in #EBHC @cochranecollab . But did you read his speech? Do so (PDF):

A treasure trove of Evidence Based Medicine videos by @SketchyEBM - now indexed in Teachers of EBHC's database https://t.co/tKK6jB9MFs

Well worth a look if you haven't already seen it.

This is handy, important, and lavishly designed. Many thanks @senseaboutsci

Agree that there are serious system problems here. But also problems with bias in clinical evidence, esp under-reporting of harms. Here's one solution: https://t.co/93KwpQppdW

Using a mock randomized trial to teach #epidemiology and #criticalappraisal in three countries, with pre- and post-assessment of knowledge. (Would be good to follow up further!)

This is a really helpful 2-minute video explanation of how lead-time #bias and length-time bias can lead us to over-estimate the benefits of #screening #ebhc @Catalogofbias https://t.co/kuTXWyrNDK

It had to happen. Someone's used penis size to explain the difference between relative and absolute measures of benefit. Still, #whateverittakes. A concrete example of #statins is also included in this blog by @CebmOxford, just in case. https://t.co/IIkdZNmfZC

Surgeons with an interest in #ebm should be aware of the upcoming @IDEALCollab conference in Oxford on 13th September. There are still places available, please RT to any of your contacts who may be interested: https://t.co/ieFd2OvnTR

Such an important #keyconcept. More learning resources on "more is not necessarily better" here: https://t.co/YzsVXtBmj9

[TestingTreatments @TestTreatments]

Introducting Evidence Essentials - a self-teaching course from @cochranecollab for patients and members of the public who want to know more about #ebm . https://t.co/pjsqo5XyAK 3 hours of free learning on #rcts, #systematicreviews and their role in providing better health care.

Tired of sitting by the pool with your feet up? Already mulling over ideas about next year's EBM teaching? No? Then don't have a browse of https://t.co/fyZ43O9qY6, with its veritable cornucopia of learning resources sorted by EBM stage, key concept, target audience and more.

This also goes nicely with their critical appraisal scenarios and worksheets for #ebm, covering diagnosis, prognosis, treatment (single studies and systematic reviews) and harm: https://t.co/Rx8iZXnxQb

There's no shortage of learning about PICO, searching and critical appraisal; not so much about the fifth stage of EBM: #evaluation. So it's handy to have this great checklist for self-evaluation from the Knowledge Translation Program: https://t.co/cVOeUi1Qzl
