The day before the Cochrane Colloquium, Saturday 15th September 2018, Cochrane UK will be hosting a ‘Fringe Event’ for trainees (of any speciality) and students (of any discipline) interested in evidence-based healthcare. It will take place at the Edinburgh International Convention Centre, from 9:30am – 5:00pm.

The day will comprise a mixture of interactive workshops as well as inspirational talks from renowned speakers. The aim is to enthuse, entertain and inform trainees and students about key issues and challenges in the production and application of evidence.

Attendees will learn more about the work of Cochrane and be challenged to think critically about key issues in the world of evidence-based healthcare, such as shared-decision making, patient and carer involvement in research, and how to apply evidence in everyday practice.

Speakers include: 

• Jennifer Johannesen
• Margaret McCartney
• Victor Montori
• Christine Borgman with Irene Pasquetto
• Caroline Whitworth
• Anna Noel-Storr

Attendees will receive a certificate of attendance. Lunch and refreshments will be provided and there will be a networking event in a local pub following on from the event.
