During the Global Evidence Summit last month, we were delighted to host a workshop entitled "Toolbox for effective evidence dissemination: a hands-on workshop".

For this workshop, we collaborated with esteemed co-facilitators from Cochrane, Cochrane Pre-hospital and Emergency Care, Cochrane Rehabilitation, Cochrane Nutrition and Physical Activity, JBI, and eBASE Africa. 

After a short introduction, the first part of the workshop focused on introducing the toolbox and its contents. We began by discussing the different guidance documents and resources available. Next, we covered the basics of dissemination (and communication), and then we highlighted the different tools (products, channels) within the toolbox.

In the next part, we showcased examples of dissemination activities done by Cochrane First Aid, eBASE Africa, Cochrane Rehabilitation, and JBI.

In the interactive part of the workshop, participants worked in 4 groups to create a dissemination plan together. They also discussed different dissemination products and shared tips, tricks, and experiences on evidence dissemination.
