How do you actually select a guideline panel? This step involves several thoughtful decisions: defining the scope and key roles; assessing COIs; inviting participants; and establishing group processes. Strong guidelines don’t just come from strong evidence—they come from strong, well-chosen teams.

Cochrane Canada @cochranecanada.bsky.social · 11/06/2026
Selecting a guideline panel is a critical step in developing healthcare guidelines. A strong panel brings together a mix of people with different perspectives that helps ensure the guidance is not only accurate, but also practical and relevant. Learn more: macgrade.mcmaster.ca/resources/gi...
