Kursinhalte
Cochrane is an international network of review groups with experts in all medical specialties whose main tasks are to evaluate clinical trials and write and update systematic reviews to evaluate therapies and disseminate them through the Cochrane Library. The Cochrane Library includes several databases of high-quality evidence that can support health care decision making. The focus is on Cochrane Reviews and randomised controlled trials (RCTs). Since 2016, there has been free access to the Cochrane Library for the whole of Switzerland under a national licence.
