Nikki has been a Managing Editor with Cochrane for over 20 years. Although evidence-based medicine is not her original background, she has extensive experience of co-ordinating the production of systematic reviews and managing authors and peer reviewers (including patients and their representatives) from a range of backgrounds and geographical locations. She has ensured that the reviews the Group produces meet the high standards set by Cochrane and is able to support our author teams to achieve these standards. Nikki has also been an author on several Cochrane Reviews herself.
