Monday, 11 Sep 2017
The Global Evidence Summit (13-16th Sept 2017) will be the first time that Cochrane, The Campbell Collaboration, Guidelines International Network, International Society for Evidence-based Health Care, and Joanna Briggs Institute have joined forces to create this premiere event in evidence-based policy. The theme of the Summit is ‘Using evidence. Improving lives’ and aims to advance the use of reliable research evidence in addressing some of the world’s most serious health and social challenges.
The EHCRC partners are delighted to be attending, partaking, and contributing to the Summit. Listed below are details of the presentations, workshops, and poster presentations that the EHCRC partners will be involved in.

Evidence to action: Start with the action
This session is linked to Plenary 1: EVIDENCE FOR AFRICA: How evidence is changing communities across one continent
Location: Auditorium 1
Wednesday 13 Sept - 16:00 to 17:30
How to ensure that research and evidence synthesis results make a difference? The Consortium for Effective Health Care, going back 20 years, has a single performance indicator that our funder measures us on: To increase the number of decisions in the health sector based on reliable evidence. To achieve this, we start with the action or decision that is anticipated and uses this to steer our priorities. It’s important to actively consider our customers’ needs to inform review portfolios, informing which reviews are done, and how they are done, in relation to the emerging policy windows. There are times too when the science and the evidence may need to challenge the beliefs, and influencing decisions in these areas is more complicated.
A variety of presenters and projects will share our work and their experiences.
