Government and evidence
We're creating a manifesto for better evidence. The centre for Evidence Based Medicine at the University of Oxford, and the BMJ, are asking what are the problem with medical evidence, and how can we fix them?
In this third discussion we went to Scotland, to find out what the people who create policy think about the issues with evidence synthesis, and how the information they create is being used in practice.
evidencelive.org/manifesto/ - join the discussion, read, and comment on our manifesto. (Source: The BMJ Podcast)
