Typescript text of the 1971 Rock-Carling lecture by medical pioneer Archie Cochrane, page 1 [image 1 of 15]

Description

On this page Archie records his gratitude to the Nuffield Provincial Hospitals Trust for inviting him to give the Sir Richard Rock-Carling lecture, and sets out his intention to focus his lecture on several aspects of National Health Service practice.

The lecture was very influential in raising the profile of evidence-based medicine and was subsequently published as a book:

A. L. Cochrane, 'Effectiveness and efficiency: random reflections on Health Services' (London, Nuffield Provincial Hospitals Trust, 1972).
