since 1995.
He joined the Australasian Cochrane Centre in June 1999
having previously
worked at the UK Cochrane Centre in Oxford and with
the Cochrane Acute
Respiratory Infections Group in Canberra.
The focus of Steve's early work was identifying reports
of randomised trials
for inclusion in the Cochrane CENTRAL register of trials.
He was part of the
team involved in re-tagging MEDLINE and helped co-ordinate
a three-year
project to handsearch the European general healthcare
literature.
He has played a central co-ordination role at the Australasian
Cochrane
Centre following the Centre's move from Adelaide. Since
2004, he has been
the Project Co-ordinator for the SEA-ORCHID
Project, a capacity building
project in South East Asia focused around promoting
the generation and use
of evidence to inform practice during pregnancy and
childbirth. Steve has
been closely involved in the Centre's regional activities,
initially in
China and more recently in South Asia and South East
Asia.
He is a review author with the Cochrane Musculoskeletal
Group and Cochrane
Methodology Group, a co-convenor of the Collaboration's
Colloquium Policy
Advisory Group, a member of the Joanna Briggs Institute
Committee of
Management, and author of the NICS
