Interested in presenting?

Cochrane Learning Live is run by Cochrane’s Learning and Support Department and we are there to provide full support for presenters throughout.  We work with presenters to describe their webinar and schedule it in the Cochrane Learning Live programme. 

Our ambition is that Cochrane Learning Live will become recognised as a platform that people can use to reach learners throughout Cochrane and, while we’ll be pro-active in planning webinars, we’re hopeful that people will begin to come to us with suggestions as their familiarity grows.  

If you are interested in presenting a webinar as part of the series, please do get in touch.  We have provided some more detail in this information for presenters document.
