Index MBE Introducción
Sabiendo que se realizará del 22 al 26 de Octubre el Colloquium anual de la Medicina Basada en la Evidencia realizado por la Colaboración Cochrane...y sabiendo que allí los Consumidores-Usuarios-Pacientes tendrán sus reuniones plenarias y talleres ....pero que la información solo estará disponible en inglés, ¿Ud. que haría? ¿Daría a conocer la reunión o se guardaría la información solo por una cuestión idiomática?
Nosotros tomamos una decisión: subiremos la información para que esté disponible aún en otro idioma, por considerar de extrema importancia este tipo de Colloquiums donde los Consumidores-Pacientes somos tenidos en cuenta, escuchados y valorados. De todas maneras iremos traduciendo el contenido del programa de actividades, en la medida de nuestras posibilidades.
Sepa disculpar si no es de su agrado encontar información en otro idioma pero entendemos que vale la pena dar a conocer ésta información para los pacientes !

Making sense of scientific evidence: a workshop for consumers
( Dandole sentido a la evidencia científica: un taller para consumidores-usuarios-pacientes)
Objectives: To help consumers make sense of scientific evidence. During the workshop there will be discussion of:
• different ways of testing whether health treatments work
• why randomised controlled trials are considered to be the best way of assessing the effectiveness of treatments
• the importance of systematic reviews
Description: This friendly and interactive workshop aims to help consumers develop the skills needed to make sense of scientific evidence. It will help participants appreciate the importance of evidence-based care and understand randomised controlled trials and systematic reviews. Participants will have an opportunity, in small groups, to comment on how trustworthy they think a research paper is and to discuss how useful the information in the paper might be in their local situation (critical appraisal). All consumers are welcome and participants should be able to enjoy the workshop and learn whatever their current level of knowledge.
This workshop is intended for consumers only.
Facilitators: Gill Gyte and Dell Horey

Accessing The Cochrane Library in plain language: a workshop for consumers (
Tener acceso a la Biblioteca Cochrane en lenguaje llano, accesible: un taller para los consumidores-usuarios-pacientes)
Objectives: To bring about more effective use by consumers of The Cochrane Library and information contained in Cochrane reviews. The following topics will be covered:
• using information from Cochrane reviews for consumers
• accessing information in The Cochrane Library and through www.cochrane.org.
• disseminating information more effectively
• influence of the media on consumers
• encouraging consumer involvement through access to quality healthcare information.
Description: Accessing information from The Cochrane Library can be a challenge for consumers. This may be because consumers are not aware of, or familiar with how and where they can access the information. In addition, the presentation, language and technical details of Cochrane reviews often present barriers that are difficult to overcome. The present workshop addresses access to the Library and the various ways information from Cochrane reviews are presented. The workshop will include a hands-on session in the computer room.
This workshop is intended for consumers only.
Facilitator: Janet Wale, Greg Saunders and Donna Gillies
