Decision-makers find application of GRADE-CERQual in qualitative evidence syntheses helpful as the assessments provide an indication as to how much confidence to place in synthesised findings. A recent review of fidelity identified several issues that review authors need to take note of when undertaking and reporting CERQual assessments.

This web clinic will cover the common issues to avoid and the speakers will be very happy to address any questions that attendees may have.
