The Consumer Network Executive was set up in 1995 to provide governance and leadership for the 2,000 and growing, international community of consumers (patients, carers and public) who work to help produce and spread Cochrane evidence. Members of the Consumer Executive are drawn from the Cochrane Consumer Network. The Cochrane Consumer Engagement Manager is part of the Cochrane Central Executive Team and the Consumers' Executive, and is tasked with supporting consumers and promoting consumer involvement in Cochrane.
