The workshop was designed using the UCL Connected Curriculum, which is underpinned by student learning through research and enquiry. Step 1: Landmark glaucoma trials were identified from the UCL MSc Core Curriculum. Step 2: Preassigned pairs of students were allocated a landmark study and asked to produce an infographic and presentation. Step 3: As part of the briefing session for the workshop, students were provided with a modified dissemination checklist produced by Cochrane to follow when developing the infographic. The briefing session drew upon prior learning on shared decision making and risk communication. Step 4: Time was set aside to enable diverse groups of students to particpate in collaborative enquiry. Step 5: Students prepared short presentations of the key messages from their infographic to practice verbal science communication. Step 6 and 7: In a larger group setting facilitated by module leads; students peer-reviewed each pair’s infographic to make iterative refinements to improve clarity and learn how to provide constructive feedback. Discussions also included how the research findings influenced clinical practice and clinical decision making. Step 8: Further quality assurances were made by module leads for the purposes of journal publication.
