Statement from Cochrane's Governing Board - 26th September 2018
The Cochrane Collaboration’s Governing Board of Trustees voted unanimously on 25th September to terminate Professor Peter Gøtzsche’s membership of the organization, and his present position as a Member of the Governing Board and Director of the Nordic Cochrane Centre.
The Board announces that it voted unanimously on 25 September 2018 to end Peter Gøtzsche's Cochrane membership, his Board seat and his directorship of the Nordic Cochrane Centre. It cites a pattern of disruptive and inappropriate behavior over several years, repeated presentation of his personal views as those of Cochrane, and public statements that breached his confidentiality obligations as a trustee. It reports that eleven Board members voted on 13 September 2018 that he had breached the Trustees' Code of Conduct.
