Publisher's Synopsis

Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is now a familiar concept in health care, but to date most books on EBM have related to the hospital setting. The aim of this new text is to provide a manual or guide to applying the principles of EBM in general practice. It takes a practical, problem-based approach and shows

  • how to convert common problems into questions that can be searched
  • how to search for relevant papers
  • how to appraise papers using research designs appropriate to primary care
  • how to decide if the results are useful in practice
  • how to teach the skills of evidence based practice.
  • Drawing on a team of contributors, the editor, Dr Leone Ridsdale, has provided a book which covers a broad range of topics, including qualitative research, guidelines, audit, diagnosis, therapy, prognosis, and practice strategy.
