Dear EMWA Members

Consensus  outcomes  are critical for e.g. treatment guidelines. Therefore we are very pleased to announce that the registration is now open for the ‘Using the ACCORD guideline to report consensus research: what medical writers need to know’ online event taking place on Thursday 14 December, 13.00-14.30 CET.

Consensus methods are widely used in healthcare when there is uncertainty about the best course of action, such as when evidence is emergent, inconsistent, limited, or absent. Unfortunately, poor reporting of consensus methods is common, and can make interpreting consensus recommendations challenging. ACCORD is the first reporting guideline for consensus methods and aims to improve the transparency and completeness of reporting in this area, which may enhance trust and confidence in the recommendations made by panels. This session will provide an overview of the most common consensus methods, explain the development and structure of the ACCORD checklist, and provide examples of good reporting of key items from the checklist.
