The following members are based in their own workplaces. 

• Editors, from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds to represent the various interests of the Group, take responsibility for individual reviews.

• Feedback Editor, Clare Jess - who is responsible for ensuring that external comment on protocols and reviews made via the Cochrane Library is forwarded to the relevant author(s) and acted upon appropriately.

• Review Authors – who conduct the systematic reviews, usually in groups of two to six people.

• Statistical Advisors - Heather Dickinson, Andy Bryant, Lesley Smith, Claudia Eli and Martie Muller who all support the Group and individual reviewers.

• Peer Reviewers - members representing individual topics who comment on protocols and reviews during the editorial process.

• Consumer representatives - to ensure that the interests of patients and carers are catered for.

• Handsearchers - a team of volunteers who, under the guidance of the TSC, have methodically scanned the journals for trial reports. This is now carried out by the TSC.

• Ordinary members - people who may not at the present time be actively involved in reviews, but who have an interest in the work and who may help the group in other ways, for example promoting our work.
