The Neurological Conditions Specialist Collection launched its second Annual Evidence Update on Headache on 24 August, in time for National Migraine Awareness Week (6-12 September 2009). The Neurological Conditions Specialist Collection Project Team has carried out a systematic literature search on headache to identify all high level evidence published since the date of the last headache Annual Evidence Update in 2008, including guidelines, systematic reviews, health technology assessments and economic evaluations.
Background to the NHS Evidence Specialist Collections and Annual Evidence Updates
The specialist collections have been developed to identify and meet the information needs of particular communities of practice. They are web-based collections containing clinical and non-clinical information on the major health priority areas. Each specialist collection identifies and provides access to quality assessed information of relevance to the community that it serves. An aspect of this involves the production of Annual Evidence Updates, which aim to highlight the best current evidence for selected healthcare topics. Annual Evidence Updates consist of the good quality evidence from a search of research evidence on a particular topic over a 12 month period, plus user-friendly summaries written by relevant experts, and links to guidelines, secondary research and primary research, if applicable. All information included in Annual Evidence Updates has been subject to rigorous selection criteria.
