Cochrane SA Virtual National Symposium 2022 | 22-23 November 2022
At a time of information overload when misinformation and disinformation abound, reliable evidence is more important than ever. An evidence-informed approach to healthcare is about making personal and professional decisions focused on the effective use of scarce resources, avoiding harm and maximising good.
The Cochrane SA Virtual National Symposium will explore the state of evidence in the post-truth/COVID-19 world - from primary research, clinical trial transparency, systematic reviews, evidence synthesis, guidelines development and policy implementation, all the way to public understanding of scientific evidence and individual decision-making.
This online event is for researchers, policymakers/ decision-makers, media, health science students, and community representatives in South Africa. Registration is free.
The call for abstracts is currently open and closes on 30 September 2022. More information: click here
