EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE RESEARCH GROUP
The Evidence-Based Practice Research Group was established on 13th March 2022 following the creation and first publication of two flagship evidence-based practice (EBP) initiatives; the GPA Evidence Updates and the GPA Evidence Database on 13th February 2022. The vision of this group is to promote the evidence-based practice culture amongst physiotherapists and other rehabilitation professionals through research, training, capacity building and advocacy to advance quality patient-centered care within and beyond Ghana. The GPA Evidence Updates are monthly production of research summaries of stroke, cerebral palsy, low back pain and Parkinson’s disease. The research summaries generated monthly are indexed in the GPA Evidence Database for continuous engagement and as a data source for quality research evidence to support physiotherapy practice and the wider rehabilitation community. The Group has consistently worked to fulfil its vision through evidence provision, webinars, workshops and mentorship programs.
Further information on the creation of these initiatives is reported in a blog.
