The how’s and why’s of systematic & Cochrane reviews

Welcome to a journey into the world of systematic and Cochrane reviews! 

Systematic and Cochrane reviews are considered the “gold standard” for summarising evidence and guiding decision-making in medical research. But how are they done? What is considered a good review? What tools can we use to put them together? How can one design and conduct a review that is robust and impactful? 

In this interactive workshop, the team from Transfusion Evidence Round-Up program and “Talking Transfusion” podcast will guide participants through a step-by-step journey of how to frame a clear research question, design a search strategy, conduct quality assessments and synthesise review findings. 

There will be small group breakout sessions led by the workshop facilitators, in which participants will work through different aspects of systematic and Cochrane reviews. Participants will be given practical tips which may help them design and conduct their own systematic reviews.
