Objectives: To co-design essential and desirable elements to be included in an evidence-based healthcare online course that would be relevant for health professionals in worldwide.

Description: Evidence-based healthcare (EBHC) involves identifying best evidence; making judgements about applicability of evidence to an individual, population or setting; and applying the evidence to make informed and appropriate healthcare choices. There is considerable variation in the extent to which health professionals are trained in the principles and methods of EBHC. The provision of tailored, easy access online training and resources could increase capacity and capability in the healthcare workforce around the world.

In this workshop, we will draw on international expertise from participants in the conference to co-design a curriculum for an online evidence-based healthcare course. Implicit in the design will be the creation of a learning resource which is widely accessible, relevant to all health professionals irrespective of country, discipline or setting and promotes the key principles of evidence-based practice.
