The CCC's Advisory Board was restructured in the fall of 2006 to create a smaller group of external stakeholders to advise the Centre. The new Advisory Board consists of members who provide a balance of high-level, strategic perspectives from across the Canadian healthcare landscape. Members come from various sectors and include clinician, research, policy and consumer representatives. These members have the capacity to strengthen the development of Cochrane activities, linkages and funding stability in Canada with their strategic advice and strong capacity for an advocacy role.
The previous Advisory Board members, consisting of a total of 47 Canadian group, partner and regional site representatives, still have a role of providing advice and support to the Centre by serving as a stakeholder group. They continue to provide input into strategic direction and implementation by participating in working groups and committees.
