Welcome to the James Lind Alliance website

Despite the vast amount of research on the effects of treatments in health care, many uncertainties remain. The James Lind Alliance aims to identify the most important gaps in knowledge about the effects of treatments, and has been established to bring patients and clinicians together in 'Priority Setting Partnerships' to identify and prioritise the unanswered questions that they agree are most important. This information will help ensure that those who fund health research are aware of what matters to patients and clinicians.

The James Lind Alliance is a non-profit making initiative, being developed under the direction of a broadly-based Strategy and Development Group. Its Secretariat is funded by the Medical Research Council and the Department of Health.

This Website contains information for those interested in finding out more about the James Lind Alliance, and those who wish to become involved.
