INTERNATIONAL MENTORING AND COMMUNICATIONS SUPPORT
We ran the Cochrane press office and secured high profile media coverage on topics such as e-cigarettes, asthma and HPV. Press briefings were arranged with the Science Media Centre on tricky topics.
We worked with the wider Cochrane team to create an organisational communications strategy, a spokesperson strategy and mentored colleagues in medical and academic positions to build their confidence in disseminating their evidence. During COVID-19 we worked with the team to disseminate high profile studies linked to the pandemic under significant time pressure and scrutiny.
