The James Lind Alliance Guidebook (Version 10, March 2021)

Summary

The James Lind Alliance (JLA) Guidebook is aimed at people interested in the JLA’s priority setting process: namely, patients and their carers, clinicians and the organisations that represent them. It is a step-by-step guide to establishing and managing a Priority Setting Partnership (PSP) and the principles behind it. PSPs bring patients, their carers and clinicians together to identify and prioritise unanswered questions (or as they can sometimes be referred to ‘evidence uncertainties’) in specific conditions or areas of healthcare, for research, using JLA methods,

The Guidebook is intended to help PSPs work effectively using established methods to ensure credible and useful outcomes.
