Editor, James Lind
Library
Iain Chalmers directs the James Lind Initiative, which promotes public and professional
acknowledgement of uncertainties about the effects
of treatments, and research to address them.
He coordinates the Database of Uncertainties
about the Effects of Treatments – DUETs
(www.duets.nhs.uk), a resource to help prioritise
new research in the UK, and edits The James Lind
Library (www.jameslindlibrary.org), a web-based
resource containing explanatory material in seven
languages about fair tests of medical treatments.
Testing Treatments: Better Research for Better
Healthcare - a book for the public co-authored
by Imogen Evans, Hazel Thornton and Iain Chalmers – was
published by The British Library in 2006, and
is now available without charge in The James
Lind Library.
Iain Chalmers was Director of the
UK Cochrane Centre between 1992 and 2002, and
Director of the National Perinatal Epidemiology
Unit between 1978 and 1992.
