The James Lind Alliance

The James Lind Alliance (JLA) is a non-profit making initiative established in 2004. It brings patients, carers and clinicians together in Priority Setting Partnerships (PSPs) to identify and prioritise the Top 10 uncertainties, or unanswered questions, about the effects of treatments.

The aim of this is to make sure that health research funders are aware of the issues that matter most to patients and clinicians.

Find out about the areas in which Priority Setting Partnerships identify the uncertainties which really matter.

See the top priorities for future research, agreed by patients, carers and health professionals working with Priority Setting Partnerships.

Read a step-by-step guide to the processes involved in a Priority Setting Partnership.
