Seeing the wood for the trees: Evaluating Research Evidence in the Age of AI

This practical webinar explores how clinicians and researchers can critically evaluate neurorehabilitation research in an era increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence (AI). Participants will learn how AI tools are influencing clinical decision-making in the way we search for interventions, plan treatments and create resources for clients. Attendees will gain insights into critically appraising neurorehabilitation literature, understanding methodological rigour, and using AI tools responsibly to support evidence-based practice.

Learning Outcomes

• Understand how AI is influencing the search for neurorehabilitation research evidence
• Develop insight into what is involved in critically appraising research quality and methodological rigor of AI search results
• Recognise common strengths and limitations in neurorehabilitation research studies
• Explore practical and ethical considerations when using AI tools in evidence-based practice

Who is this webinar for?
Researchers and students seeking to strengthen their evidence appraisal skills; allied health, nursing, and medical professionals working in neurorehabilitation; and clinicians interested in understanding the opportunities and limitations of AI in healthcare research.
