NHS Centre for Reviews and Dissemination
Record ID 31999008331
English
Authors' objectives:
This document lays out a set of guidelines which can be used as a framework for carrying out systematic reviews.
Authors' recommendations:
The guidelines are structured in eleven phases. Phase 0 describes the assessment of the need for a review and the process by which the work is assigned to the reviewers. The wide consultation described in this phase is to ensure that the focus is relevant to those in the NHS and elsewhere who also will wish to use the results. Phases 1 and 2 describe the planning that should take place before the review is started, whilst Phases 3-7 cover reviewing methods and working arrangements. Phases 8 and 9 are concerned with the review report and Phase 10 describes issues concerning the dissemination of the review to the relevant audience, which will be undertaken in conjunction with the CRD dissemination team.
