The Cochrane Public Health Group (CPHG) has been successful in leveraging funding to support the production of the review, Flexible working conditions for improving employee health and well being. Clare Bambra, from Durham University, will receive £5,000 from the UK Department of Health to support her and her team to complete this very important review within one year. Co-ordinating Editors of all Cochrane Review Groups based within and outside of the the UK were invited to nominate up to three reviews or review updates that they considered important and for which they considered the award of an incentive payment would lead to completion of work at a significantly earlier time. Tony LaMontagne is playing an advisory role in the development of the protocol for this review.
The CPHG also supported the recently successful application by Northern Ireland author, Janice Christie, for a Cochrane Fellowship to support her in undertaking the review Workplace organisational interventions for preventing adult obesity.
