RaCES: Rapid Conversion Evidence Summaries
Everything we do is based on evidence. When new research is carried out we need to be able to gather that evidence quickly and effeciently to ensure that it informs our practice. The RaCES scheme is a team approach for rapidly converting new systematic reviews or evidence syntheses into evidence summaries to inform practice. Team are made up practitioner and academics. For further information see flier.
