At Cochrane First Aid, we understand that science is only really useful once it has been communicated. 

At the Global Evidence Summit 2024, we hosted a workshop on effective evidence dissemination, together with co-facilitators of Cochrane, eBASE Africa, JBI and World Evidence-Based Healthcare Day (World EBHC Day). The slide deck can be found here.
