The Cochrane review completion and update program is designed to provide dedicated time and support to review authors who are struggling to find the time to complete or update their Cochrane systematic review in a timely manner.

Run over five days at the Australasian Cochrane Centre in Melbourne, the course involves targeted lectures, discussion and support in all aspects of writing a review, including:

• literature searching and reporting
• data extraction
• using RevMan to enter data and complete tables
• statistical analysis
• discussion
• editing

Our aim is that by the end of the week, reviews will be ready to submit to the relevant review group. A prerequisite for attendance in the program is publication of a protocol on The Cochrane Library.
