Penny, a Pediatric Nurse from parent-focused Instagram Sick Happens, chatted with Cochrane on Instagram Live for World Evidence-Based Healthcare Day 2020

Sick Happens:
"We were so lucky to talk to a representative from Cochrane o help us understand how to research effectively, how evidence impacts healthcare, and how to differentiate high quality evidence from opinion.

“Cochrane is for anyone interested in using high-quality information to make health decisions. Whether you are a doctor or nurse, patient or carer, researcher or funder, Cochrane evidence provides a powerful tool to enhance your healthcare knowledge and decision making”

We chatted about:

- What does the Cochrane Organisation do?
- How do you decide what topics to review?
- What are systematic reviews?
- Why are systematic reviews the gold standard for informing healthcare practices?
- What tips would you give to the everyday person, to be able to distinguish between high quality evidence and myths?


Remember, researching effectively, and learning to critically analyse evidence is a learnt skill. It takes practice like anything else. But the more you learn and the more you practice, the easier it will be for you to be able to work out if a piece of information deserves your time and attention or not.
