"Besides health professionals and users of health
services, this book is an indispensable asset to healthcare
librarians who endeavour to save the time of the reader by
identifying systematic reviews and careful analysis of research
studies on carefully selected themes. This Cochrane handbook will
enrich the practice of all the partners in care and it needs to be
widely available in clinicians' practice rooms, college
libraries and hospital wards." (European Journal for
Person Centered Healthcare, 23 January 2013)

"I highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest
in patient and public involvement within any health-related
discipline." (Royal College of Pathologists,
2012)
