Archie Cochrane
Professor
Archibald Leman Cochrane (

Effectiveness and Efficiency: Random Reflections on Health Services (1972) and subsequent advocacy caused increasing acceptance of the
evidence-based medicine concept. Cochrane's work was honoured through the naming of centres of evidence-based medical research - Cochrane Centres - and an international organisation - The
Cochrane Collaboration.
