Mission Statement

We want to ensure that our content development strategy is relevant and that each resource that we assign is of value to users. To accomplish this we need to do the following:

• find the best evidence that already exists
• appraise that evidence by using a 'levels of evidence' criteria
• identify the gaps in knowledge
• decide how to plug the gaps
• identify the unanswered questions
• develop original content to plug the gaps in the form of short evidence-based summaries

Cancer is a huge topic area and provides a challenge in gathering all the different types of knowledge together as well as organising and managing it. To help in the task we are forming 'tumour groups'. The first one will focus on Head and Neck cancer and members will be asked to help decide which will be the most useful resources from the existing evidence-base.
