Programme
Welcome
March 2010 will see New Zealand hosting the midyear meetings and Australasian contributors meeting for The Cochrane Collaboration. This is an international organisation who aims to produce and promote systematic reviews on healthcare. In conjunction with these meetings the New Zealand Branch of the Australasian Cochrane Centre along with the New Zealand Guidelines Group will be hosting an evidence symposium day (see below for invited speakers). This day is a chance to listen to internationally renowned experts talk about the effect of evidence on healthcare in the local and international setting. The day will be finished with a dinner at the Fale Pasifika on Auckland University's campus. There is a limit of 200 attendees so complete your registration by clicking on the registration tab above.
