‘Getting better with evidence: Experiences of putting evidence into practice’ is a one-day conference where delegates can learn from experts about putting evidence into practice, and discuss the challenges currently being faced in health care.

This is a New Zealand first, bringing the internationally acclaimed EBMLive to Auckland.

The conference has three themes:

  2. translating evidence into action
  3. building solutions, the roles of big data, randomised control trials and real-world evidence.

  • Fiona Godlee, editor-in-chief, the BMJ
  • Ray Moynihan, assistant professor, Bond University
  • Professor Carl Heneghan, director, Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine, University of Oxford
