John is one of CRD's Technical Editors and part of the multidisciplinary team responsible for maintaining and developing DARE and NHS EED.

The role involves proof reading and on-line editing of abstracts for quality assurance purposes, liaising with abstract writers and updating records periodically to include additional related references comments, URLs and other data.
