Patients and consumers at Cochrane's Edinburgh Colloquium

Patients and consumers at Cochrane's Edinburgh Colloquium

Our Colloquium is Cochrane's annual flagship event, bringing people together from around the world to discuss putting research into important global health questions and promoting evidence-informed health care.  This year, almost 1300 people from 57 countries attended our Colloquium in Edinburgh, UK. The theme was ‘Cochrane for all - better evidence for better health decisions.’  It was a Patients Included event, co-designed, co-produced and co-presented by healthcare consumers, where everyone’s input is valued equally. It focused on key goals of Cochrane’s Strategy to 2020: producing evidence, making evidence accessible, and advocating for evidence.

We spoke to several consumers and patients attending the Cochrane Colloquium in Edinburgh – here are some of their highlights from the event:
