Examples of Recent HEDS Systematic Reviews
Over recent years HEDS staff have collectively contributed to over 200 systematic reviews. In addition to health technology assessments and single technology appraisals HEDS systematic reviewers produce syntheses in a diverse range of other topics as well as advancing important methodological developments.
