Packaging

This working group has been focused on supporting the better coordinated and more effective packaging of evidence syntheses, technology assessments and guidelines in ways that meet the needs of citizens, providers, policymakers and researchers in different contexts and languages. After a series of important achievements, it is now on stand-by and willing to take on exciting new opportunities to make a difference.
