about the meeting

The international multi-professional Cochrane Skin - Core Outcome Set Initiative (CS-COUSIN) supports the development and implementation of Core Outcome Sets (COS) in dermatology. Currently, twenty project groups are developing COS for a wide range of dermatological conditions.

We are delighted to welcome you to the first CS-COUSIN meeting, jointly organised with the COMFA (Core Outcome Measures in Food Allergy) initiative. This event is a multi-disciplinary/multi-stakeholder event that is   open to interested researchers, reviewers, clinicians, patients or other professions to attend virtually.

The CS-COUSIN Management Group will host the first and last day to share important methodological insights as well as learning from keynote speakers and hearing about progress made in the project groups. These groups will lead their own agenda over the course of days 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Unlike a traditional conference, this meeting is a key opportunity for our Project Groups to interact and use the time to get some practical work completed in focused sessions. These dedicated meetings can be used to

·        find consensus within your discipline

·        discuss current advances in research

·        identify what to do in the future?

·        present a summary of your discussions in the final plenary session on Tuesday.
