Priority Setting in Action: experiences from two Cochrane Review Groups

These videos, originally part of the Cochrane Learning Live webinar series, are of interest to anyone who is planning or running a prioritisation process.

Colleagues from Cochrane Epilepsy, Cochrane Fertility Regulation and Cochrane Movement Disorders Review Groups share their experiences of running priority setting exercises; including who they engaged with and how, and their strategies for organising and documenting the process. Find out what was successful for them and where they faced challenges working with editorial teams, selected stakeholders and the general public, to identify, refine and prioritize topics for Cochrane Reviews.

The webinar was delivered in October 2019. Below you will find videos from the webinar, together with accompanying slides to download [PDF].
