Dear list I run a small department with limited time due to all are committments We are however known for the ability to perform/advice developers to how perform Cochrane systematic reviews, guidelines and audit (unfortunately even doing the latter for everyone takes time which we would love to have but quite simply don't). With the exception of "seeing whether the topic has been done by Cochrane, or seeing if well and EBM based guidelines have already been developed) I would like to have your ideas on how to prioritise subjects for Cochrane reviews, guidelines, and audit. I am happy to summarise any replies and distribute them to the list at the end.
