National Institute of Clinical Studies (NICS) Guide to the Cochrane Library

NICS has prepared a Guide to help you get the most from the Cochrane Library. As you move through the Guide, you'll find out about the purpose of the Library, who compiles it, the kind of information it contains, and how to search it. This is the second version of the Guide. It has been fully revised and updated to reflect changes that have been made to the Cochrane Library during the switch to a new publisher, John Wiley & Sons, in 2004

Journal Watch Emergency Medicine
Journal Watch Emergency Medicine keeps clinicians up to date on the most important research appearing in the literature. Launched in 1997, the publication serves a community of generalist and specialist physicians, nurses and nurse practitioners, and other healthcare professionals. Journal Watch Emergency Medicine is published biweekly on the web and monthly in print.

Led by Dr. Ron Walls, the 10-member physician Editorial Board regularly reviews more than 40 of the top general and specialty medical journals. Each month they summarize 22-24 of the most important studies and provide expert commentary to put the research into perspective for practicing clinicians. Each summary is derived from close reading of the original research, careful fact-checking, and clear, concise editing. Occasional Landmark Articles single out truly exceptional studies that should lead to immediate reappraisal of current practice or to the adoption of a new approach.

Australian Government Department of Health Ageing funds CPEHF for 3 years

The Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing has provided funding to the Prehospital and Emergency Health Field to ensure that the activities of the field are sustainable for the next three years.

This funding is a wonderful reflection of the growth of the prehospital and emergency health setting, and the development of an evidence base for this unique area of health care is now a priority of the Australian Government.

The Cochrane Collaboration Open Learning Material

In 2002, The Cochrane Collaboration Open Learning Material for Reviewers was prepared to accompany the Handbook in helping people who are working on a Cochrane review. It does not replace the Handbook, instead it provides a framework for progressing through the Handbook, supplementing it with examples and activities along the way. The first version of the open learning material (Version 1.1) was made available on the internet in November 2002. It can be accessed at http://www.cochrane-net.org/openlearning/.

Along with the Handbook, this material will stand alone, offering an alternative to face-to-face training, especially for those authors living and working away from easy access to the training offered by Cochrane Centres and Collaborative Review Groups. For those able to access this face-to-face training, this material will serve as a useful resource to remind them of what they learned.

The open learning material takes a step-by-step approach to Cochrane reviews, exploring each step individually, signposting appropriate links and references and providing examples and activities to help make sense of the information. The material is organised in modules, with modules relating to consecutive sections of a review. There are also some additional modules relating to issues of reviewing that do not occur in all Cochrane reviews.
