Register now to secure a seat at this month's Café Scientifique which will explore how health news stories are reported in the media.

After last year’s tremendously successful Café Scientifique, we are offering another Café which will explore how health news stories are reported in the media.

Symposium schedule is now online!     

Cochrane is making £2.5 million available over the next three years and inviting bids from anyone - whether affiliated with Cochrane's network of contributors or not - who has a visionary idea that could help the organization deliver better informed healthcare decisions for the future. Applicants are invited to submit suggestions for new, large-scale ‘game-changing’ projects that will make a major impact on the way Cochrane’s Systematic Reviews and other healthcare evidence are produced or used.

The Canadian Cochrane Centre is starting a new blog which will feature a contribution from a different person/group each month. Do you have a burning desire to voice your opinion on a health-related issue? Has something happened in the world of health that you think deserves some attention? We’d love to hear from you about items like this and more! Contact the editor, Lori Tarbett, at ltarbett@ohri.ca with your ideas. Anyone is welcome to contribute.
