The course is primarily focused on evaluations in complex ‘real-world’ situations, in which the evaluator has limited control over the intervention or context, and traditional experimental methods are inappropriate.

It aims to introduce ten key principles for evaluation of complex interventions, and how to apply these in health and social care settings.

During this course, time will be allocated for structured, small group study to reflect on experiences and to begin to design an evaluation proposal in line with the nature of your specific needs.
