Dear HIFA colleagues
Last chance to register for our forthcoming webinar!
Webinar date and time: 5 December 2024, 14.00 to 15.30 CET (Norway time)
Registration link: https://NTNU.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_mjm-u8pQQsOZ4dDBr4xsbg
Topic: Getting research evidence to users
Please join us for a Cochrane People, Health Systems and Public Health webinar marking one year since the launch of the Thematic Group in Norway [https://www.cochrane.org/about-us/our-global-community/thematic-groups/p... ]
In the webinar, Prof John Lavis (McMaster University, Canada) and Dr Laura Boeira (Instituto Veredas, Brazil) will speak on the work of the Global Commission on Evidence to Address Societal Challenges [ https://www.mcmasterforum.org/networks/evidence-commission ]. We will also have an input from Maria Henningsen (Mid-Norway Health Trust, Norway) on the clinical networks that have been established within the Mid-Norway Health Trust, and how these are being used to help ensure that healthcare providers have good access to relevant evidence. This will be followed by a discussion focusing on what can be learnt from this work to support efforts to ensure that users, including healthcare providers, have access to the best available evidence. Ralf Kirchhoff (Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Norway), will join us for this discussion. In addition, we will provide an update on the activities of the Thematic Group over the last year.
Please share this invitation in your networks.
Best wishes
Simon
