The first CNCN Symposium was held at the National University of Singapore on October 9th and 10th 2009.  The purpose of the symposium was to consider the role of the CNCN in promoting the use of Cochrane Reviews in informing nursing care and improving health outcomes. This two day event was well attended with over 120 registrations from all over the world. A number of exciting developments were made including the establishment of a:

• Traditional Chinese Node (Convener Dr Pei-Fan Mu)
• Simplified Chinese Node (Convener Professor Hu Yan)
• Fundamentals of Nursing Node (Conveners Professor Alison Kitson and Dr Suzi Robertson Malt)

The CNCN is proud to announce that from 2010 the International Journal of Nursing Practice (IJNP) will be publishing a Cochrane Nursing Care Network Supplement three times per year. To subscribe to the Journal (including the supplement) please visit www.blackwellpublishing.com/IJN

The aim of the Evidence Transfer Program (ETP) is to:

1. disseminate summaries of nursing-care relevant Cochrane Reviews via electronic and print journals to encourage the transfer of the findings of Cochrane Reviews into practice, and
2. to develop podcasts of each subsequent summary. We are currently seeking people to be involved in either or both of these activities. For more information please click here
