The Cochrane Primary Care field aims to promote the quality, quantity, dissemination, accessibility, applicability and impact of Cochrane systematic reviews for people who work in primary care. Cochrane is represented in the global primary care ‘community’ and that primary care is represented in Cochrane. Cochrane has developed and disseminated PEARLs: Practical Evidence About Real Life Situations, to be represented in the global primary care community. These are structured minimalist summaries of Cochrane reviews, which are available on the website.
