The Cochrane Collaboration

Trusted evidence. Informed decisions. Better health.

Cochrane is a global, independent, non-profit network of health researchers, professionals, patients and carers who work together to produce and promote trusted, high-quality health information that improves health and healthcare worldwide.

We review all the research on a wide range of health topics, and summarize the best evidence to help patients and health organizations to make informed decisions.

We use sophisticated methods to combine and compare studies, sometimes hundreds of them. This makes our reviews more reliable than individual studies. The end result is a type of health evidence known as a 'systematic review'. Cochrane is considered the leader in systematic reviews by health professionals, researchers and policymakers around the world.

Our health evidence has led to changes in treatments and policies that have saved and improved millions of lives: premature babies, pregnant women, trauma patients, older people, those with chronic lung disease, COVID-19, malaria, sight loss, dementia, mental illness and many more.

Disability Values

Cochrane is proud to be committed to creating an environment where disabled people feel valued, respected, and fully included. We are a Level 3 employer in the Disability Confident Employer Scheme and achieved this by our continued development of ensuring accessibility, equity, and all aspects of diversity.

We recognise the strength that comes from different perspectives, lived experiences, and ways of working. We remove barriers proactively, and design our culture, systems, and spaces to ensure that everyone can thrive. By embracing inclusive practices, we build a workplace where everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Diversity and Inclusion

Cochrane’s employees and workers are unique, whether in terms of background, personal characteristics, experience, skills or motivations. We value our people for the differences they bring to the work that we do, and we recognise that these differences – this diversity – is powerful.

Fostering an inclusive culture helps each of us to benefit from a wider range of different perspectives, experiences and skills. We believe that this creates a happier, more productive working environment for us all.
