Healthwise
'Healthwise' is a Royal Melbourne Hospital project in collaboration with the Cochrane Consumer Network and the Chronic Illness Alliance. In 2010 the project was expanded and in co-operation with the State Library Victoria (SLV) staged a series of workshops for the general public on evidence-based health sites with an emphasis on health consumer content. Seminars are also being organised under the 'Healthwise' banner - the first was on Type 2 Diabetes and Risk Factors.
