Event 27:  Shifting sands: making sense of an emerging COVID-19 evidence base

<h2>Event 27:  Shifting sands: making sense of an emerging COVID-19 evidence base</h2><p>Join us to hear different perspectives on the COVID-19 evidence conundrum along with some ideas for how we might manage some of the challenges.</p><p>During the pandemic, we&#x27;ve moved from a position of having very little knowledge of COVID-19 and its impacts to feeling overwhelmed by studies and analyses.  There are significant gaps - the evidence we do have is patchy and the quality is variable.  We’re also experiencing an “infodemic” where misinformation has the potential to cause harm and undermine important public health messages.</p><p>We&#x27;ll be hearing from a panel with different experiences of generating, using or applying COVID-19 evidence and discussing what this means for how we use evidence to inform decisions.</p>

<h3>Week 5 : Decision-making Toolkit</h3><p>‘Decision-making is an art’. We can train at it, rehearse and access tools to support us. However human decision making is also subject to a wide range of biases which can undermine the quality of decision making, especially in complex real-world systems. This week focuses on the range of materials that exist to help us be better decision-makers.​</p><p>We will also think about how we make best use of resources to collect the right evidence to support our decision-making, ensuring our methods are tested and reviewed with the aim of continuous improvement.</p>

<h3>Please note - this session will be recorded</h3><p>Recordings will not include comments or guest cameras (unless you are a speaker)</p>
