Curious as to how The Cochrane Collaboration can improve health care in Canada? Be sure to join us in Ottawa for the 12th Cochrane Colloquium (www.colloquium.info) from October 2 - 6, 2004. The Colloquium is the annual conference of The Cochrane Collaboration (www.cochrane.org), an organization that is dedicated to making up-to-date, accurate information about the effectiveness and safety of healthcare treatments readily available worldwide. The overall theme of the Ottawa Colloquium is "Bridging the Gaps". Through plenary sessions, oral presentations, posters, and workshops, we will address the gaps that exist between The Cochrane Collaboration and clinical practice, between high-income and low-income economies, between methodologists and reviewers, and between producers and users of Cochrane reviews. The Colloquium will be a thought-provoking and rewarding experience for anyone who believes that all healthcare decisions should be informed by the best available evidence. We are now accepting abstracts for oral presentations, posters and workshops. You can view the Call for Abstracts on the Colloquium web site at www.colloquium.info/?PageID=42. To find out more about the Colloquium, submit an abstract or register online, please visit the Colloquium web site at www.colloquium.info. We look forward to seeing you there.
