A RaCES team consists of healthcare practitioners and academics who search for evidence to inform practice.  Upon identifying a relevant and up-to date systematic review, work begins to convert the review to a short, useful and readable summary.  RaCES is a great opportunity to identify evidence for practice and gain academic writing skills.  RaCES are published on both the Trust and University websites and prepared for publication in academic journals.

RaCES are supported by the National Institute for Health Research Collaboration for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care North West Coast (NIHR CLAHRC NWC).  The views expressed are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the NIHR or the Department of Health and Social Care
