TRIP started by accident, got picked up early on by Bandolier (a very popular and independent publication, specific to evidence-based medicine) and has grown significantly since then. It has a global audience and has been searched over 60 million times.
It has been an interesting journey with a large number of highs and a large number of lows. Jon will cover areas such as how TRIP got started and how it's grown. He'll also cover funding concerns (typically having not enough money but on one occasion too much), the relationships (good and bad), where the ideas come from and his amazing ability to fail in acquisition negotiations.
Biography: Jon Brassey has worked in the world of clinical effectiveness and evidence based medicine for nearly 15 years. His main area of work is clinical question answering. As part of this work Jon created and still runs the TRIP Database, an 'evidence based' clinical search engine. He also works for Public Health Wales.
