The Cochrane Library is a collection of high-quality independent evidence to inform healthcare decision-making.
The Cochrane library promotes evidence-informed health decision-making by producing high-quality, relevant, accessible systematic reviews and other synthesized research evidence.
Their work is internationally recognised as the benchmark for high-quality information about the effectiveness of health care and is generally known as the ‘Gold Standard’ for systematic reviews.
The latest edition of Digital Mental Health Current Awareness bulletin, produced by Greater Manchester Mental Health, is now available to view and download.
